Google replies: Your search - "Teergubbing - did not match any documents."

Tomorrow google will find a document or two at lwn.net.

But I'll probably be none the wiser :-)

I believe they meant "teergrubing" (= deploying a slow-loris-like attack for Good, i.e. against spammers connected to your mailhost).

Afrikaans?

Thanks. When spelled correctly it's German for "tarpit", which I should have guessed anyway.

I have no doubt that subscriber "thedevil" merely mistyped "teergrubing".
