Or a sick joke that is a forgery.

Yup, points to Cecil for realizing this.

Based on similar turns of phrase in a private E-mail message sent to me
recently (of the usual, unhinged, "I didn't ask to be welcomed to this
newsgroup!" variety), I can say with great likelihood that the
perpetrator of this forgery is the individual who posts on
rec.radio.amateur.policy with the E-mail address ."
I sent a complaint to alt.net and altopia.com in case they caught the
poster in their logs.


I /knew/ there was a reason I had altopia in the killfile. 8-)

It seems that we've really, really hit a raw nerve here among the
unbalanced trolls who populate rec.radio.amateur.policy. They very much
seem to fear the prospect that a new, moderated discussion newsgroup for
amateur radio stands a good chance of getting created, one that will
leave them behind.

I suspect that there will continue to be a storm of retaliatory
forgeries for some time to come, at least through the fall. As I said
previously, check the headers. If something appears to be from me, and
is not from Novia/Newscene, then it's a forgery. Check also for
misspellings, poor grammar, and obscene language.


Or drop alt.net into your filters; it's lossless compression.
