I will do this. If the spam is removable within a reasonable length of time
I'll purge all of it.
I'll start over with a new wiki, probably tikiwiki or maybe pmwiki.

If I can get it back online, login as admin and purg all the spam then I can 
backup the entire wiki.
This will make it easier to save all the data for porting elsewhere - I can 
even manually save all
the critical pages, text version plus wikiformatted version.

Thanks, Richard.
