Message-ID: <2579@dx.stc.co.uk> Date: 17 Dec 89 00:50:32 GMT References: <299@usenix.UUCP> Sender: news@stl.stc.co.uk Reply-To: "David Wright" Organization: STC Technology Limited, London Road, Harlow, Essex, UK Lines: 19 In article <299@usenix.UUCP> usenet@usenix.UUCP (USENET News Administration) does a newgroup. No discussion in news.groups. No discussion in comp.org.usenix. Just a newgroup message. This is not alt or bionet or inet where certain people can create groups without asking. What's going on? Unless someone can convince me that this is both genuine and legitimate I'll send out an rmgroup. Maybe the article is a forgery. But if so, it's a good one: the path looks right, and the article id (299) is close to the most recent article id from usenix that I can find (296). Of course all that means is that a forger would have to be able to access uunet, and know news well - cuts down the possibilities to about a thousand people!
