I doubt the problem you experienced is related to the script attack that caused so many to get their 6 or 12 e-mails. It could theoretically have been some other sort of attack, but the prior script attack was an attempt to see whether a r'osity member list could be obtained or accessed. The sort of message you fols were getting would seem more like a denial-of-service sort of attack -- drone computers logging on to bring the site down. However, the most likely scenario was that maintenance or upgrade work was being done for the site at the times you were attempting to log on.
