Status regarding the recent Appdb vandalism

Yes, EVERYTHING from the listed apps was deleted. The AppDB sends an 
email for each individual thing though, for instance if an app has 2 
versions, 5 sets of test data, 80 comments and 7 screenshots it will 
send you 94 individual emails with the info from each item that has been 
deleted.

For the record I have no emails containing "Roop" at all.

Bryan: Don't email the mailing list AND every single person on the list, 
ONLY mail the list itself.
