I want to add my voice here to agree a bit with 
Stefan...While it was clear that spam message was just 
that, it was an announcement of an ongoing action of 
sorts.  It doesn't seem right away to be a hactivist one, 
but we certainly haven't defined that is as of yet.  Public 
art, which seemed to be generally the jist of the 
"project" is perhaps a hactivist one.  Of course, the 
message was also a solicitation for money.  Anyway.  I 
don't know how quick we should be to jump on it.

I think the list should be left open for now.  This was just 
one message and it was at least tangentially related to 
hactivism.  If more spam follows, restricting posts to 
members seems a good idea.
