Since he also puts stuff in sumex-aim, and puts the paths into the messages, we might resonably assume that he's the perpetrator of this farce. I'm not sure, but I think it's possible to fake to a moderated group. There was a fake posting in news.announce.important a bit ago. Actually, I know it's possible if you've got sufficient control over your network connection (a huge if, I think). Pretty sure it'd be hard or impossible to do with normal hardware. -- /============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
