At the beginning of the week an old IDYW Google groups mailing list was hacked into and used to distribute racist propaganda. We must apologise to the people on the list, who received this disturbing material. In the end nothing of this kind has appeared either on this site or our old site of a few years ago. We have now deleted everyone from the old Google groups mailing, which had not been used for a few years and in this way closed it down. We will endeavour to be more alert in the future. However we believe our present mailing list is safeguarded from compromise.

Again our sincere apologies.
