Paranoia certainly got a boost here, though, by the recent and still
unexplained emptying of the subscriber list. Was this actually, as many
have speculated, a malicious action by someone taking advantage of the
majordomo software, or was there a more prosaic explanation? Or is there
no way for even the list managers to know?
Clear information is one of the best ways to dispell paranoia.

We don't know what happened to the list, although we suspect a
technical problem with full file systems.
Clear information is one of the best ways to dispell paranoia.
It may dispell the attack of paranoia, but it does nothing to address the
underlying mental state, which is what I was talking about.
