	These forgeries are coming in at uunet (unless they are from ficc,
which seems a little far fetched, uunet is so much more well connected). They
are absolutely perfect, except for the sequence number in the message ID field. 
The first posting I noticed got this almost right too (the time of day did not
quite jive), but in doing so bumped a legitimate ficc posting from the net.

	The forger has since changed his/her ways, and seems not to be doing
this anymore, the sequence numbers being used now ought not to show up at ficc
until the forged postings are long gone. Probably, to be quite sure, the forger
should be using SMALLER sequence numbers, say around 1000 or so, since these
have been used at ficc, and won't ever appear again. The technical skill
required is not very great however, and the joke is no longer very amusing.
