Here's the e-mail that Larry Margolis sent to my system
administrators, forwarded from one of the NCSU sysadmins.  
I omitted the sender's address from the e-mail.

To whom it may concern,
   Apparently someone at your site is "letter-bombing" various newsgroups
with material previously posted to talk.abortion.  This was in soc.singles,
alt.romance.chat, and other groups.  I think someone needs a talking-to...

Sincerely,
Larry Margolis
