	Unfortunately, these kinds of deviant acts are not hard to conjure.
Anybody with news source can figure how to do that with experimentation.
Deviant news hackers know even better.

	I'm moraly compelled to not divulge this kind of information.

	But It can be done. Usenet is not at all secure. Consider the source!

	Even worse, the site origin can be faked. Even the author!

	Maybe I should say no more.

	On a net with thought police, it just doesn't matter anyway. Not unlike
running your brain through a strainer. Take it with a grain of salt.

	Don't mail me, I won't talk about it.
