Oddly enough, I brought this up on another list tonight as I'd gotten the
same email.  I hadn't thought to do a google on the address as it was
pretty generic and I figured that it was just that of someone involved with
the other folks it was sent to being BCC.  But just did: Arin Komins, of
Oak Park, Illinois.

No one else has picked up on this part of things, and I'll have to remember
to do a follow-up to my earlier post.

BTW, there's this convention that we're having in DC in October . . . <g>
