	Okay, folks. Look at the things which are "highlighted". Do the first
two look similar? I am not an expert on the use of Netnews, and certainly not
on the techniques of forgery, but it looks VERRRRY suspect to me.

	I assume that it's partially because of idiocy like this that AT&T
management is going on the warpath against Netnews. Much as I enjoy Netnews-
both the technical and entertainment aspects- I can't blame them. This sort of
thing wears REAL thin after a while.

 however. Had to go 'round my elbow to get to my a** just to post this to
