Looks like when Chuck re-enabled the wiki after his massive server crash, he
did *not* restrict edit access to the "wikieditors" group, and therefore the
wiki is once again wide open to abuse.  It is seeing such abuse and several 
pages have been completely overwhelmed by spam.

Chuck:  If you're listening, it would be a perfect time to re-enable 
page protections, preferrably with a CAPTCHA rather than group permissions.
Scott Miller uses a trivial CAPTCHA on info.aprs.net and that has been
sufficient for several years.

The wiki is completely useless if any moron can trash it.
