Thanks Ricky.  The wiki is really easy for people (including spammers) 
to get an account on and start messing up pages.  Luckily, the wiki 
keeps many backups of previous incarnations of webpages, so repairing or 
de-spamming those pages is fairly easy too.  But it is a bit of a pain 
and I guess is part of the cost of making the pages easily modifiable.  
You'll see this kind of thing happening occasionally over at 
www.wikipedia.org, which is also freely modifiable by anyone who wants to.

Thanks to whoever fixed some of these pages already.  And thanks again 
for letting us know.
