   This is an issue that may be important to many news groups
Currently, up in alt.sex.pictures.d, there is a major controversy
brewing over the ability of somebody to intercept the posts to a.s.p, 
and replace it with a 'I was bad' message to a.s.p.d.  I am wondering
who and how the comp.binaries.ibm.pc is kept free of non-appropriate posts, 
since this is the supposed purpose of the 'atuoKiller', as s/he is called.
The main problem is that many people do not get a.s.p.d, and they then post
to a.s.p, which most places do get.  This self-appointed judge-jury-killer
will kill the post, forge a header, but with the same path, and then post
a bogus message to a.s.p.d. Since (I believe) a.s.p is non-moderated, how is
this possible?
