I was going through my old email and found a couple

I only pop in on the list maybe once every month or two to see what's going
on. Today I signed on and received a mailbox full of some of the most
ridiculous posts I've ever seen. People lobbing insults at each other,
flames, etc.

I have a very limited amount of bandwidth, and accessd takes most of it.
I'll be darned if I'm going to take bandwidth away from my customers who
need it to support this kind of list traffic.

As of today, accessd is dead. I may bring it back up later, depending on the
response I get. When (if) I do, the people who were active members this
morning will be back on then.

I don't want to come across to you too harsh - personally you may have not
contributed to this incident at all, but I'm pretty miffed at the whole
thing.
