Looks like a variation of the 'Hipcrime' supersedes attack. Your FAQs
are likely to have been 'resurrected' by one of white hatted spam
cancellers. You could try dipping into news.admin.net-abuse.usenet and
see if there is any info about this. Unfortunately the group is a prime
target for spammers and other idiots, and too full of junk for me to
subscribe regularly.

Cheers,
Anthony
