If some know that it is some kind of prank parody it may be considered a bit amusing


thought it makes a lot confusion, 

anyway i may say that both false and true jacob nabia are acting slightly unusual 
(though for me personally unusual means often more good than bad) It is curious 
becouse usually me/I was accustomed to act a bit unusual, and here it seems there are more unusual acting users here,
good work ;-)

It does not surprise me that you think so. It will not surprise you to 
learn that I disagree with you.

Maybe Jacob you could get an account at news.eternal-september.org.
It's a free service, and they require authentication.

Another possibility is to install Enigmail (you use Thunderbird, I
think?) and gpg to sign your posts.  Then there would be no doubt of the
authenticity of your posts.

It is a terrible thing that someone is doing here, and affects us all.
Hopefully the person behind it will realise that it is not remotely
funny, and stop it.

I don't know for sure that Eternal September would be able to reject 
such posts from being injected in directly but it seems worth trying. I 
wondered why Jacob has not tried that. AFAICS he has not even responded 
to the suggestion.

Would a person reading need a similar Usenet client so as to know that 
the post was authentic?

Look, I tried during about 1 hour or more.

I opened an account in the web site, but got only their news groups.
A small list of 7 or 8 newsgroup about their organization.

In the documentation they tell that to get all other newsgroups I should 
click in the check box "Always ask for identification" in thunderbird, 
what I did.

But I got always the same small list of newsgroups. I got out of 
thunderbird, closed it several times, nothing.

Then, I thought that maybe I should get a certificate authority, as they 
said somewhere in their confusing docs. Then, I got into the CACert web 
site, and did steps one and two, as they said that it was necessary in 
their docs.

I imported then the certificates into thunderbird. This time when I quit 
thunderbird and then reopened, it asked me for my user name and 
password. I wrote the ones I got from them in an email, and was very happy.

But then... STILL THE SAME THING!

I do not see any other groups than the eternal september groups.

I have tried many other things, combinations of stuff and got tired
and stopped.

Is it that I am stoo stupid?

Probably. That is why I did not tell about it here.

:-)

That's a restriction on their web-site, not on their news server.

Here's the procedure for setting up Thunderbird  to use
eternal-september as a news server under Ubuntu Linux (hopefully, the
procedure under Windows isn't too different):
1. Go to Edit/Account Settings/Account Actions/Add Other Account.
2. Select "Newsgroup account".
3. Set up your identity as you wish, then hit "Next". The e-mail address
you select here need not be a real one, or one that you have any control
over.
4. Fill in the name for the newsgroup server you want to use, then hit
"Next". See
<http://www.eternal-september.org/index.php?showpage=techinfo> for a
list of the available server names.
5. Fill in your desired name for this account, and select "Next".
6. Select "Finish".
7. Select the new account from the Account Settings window. Identify the
mail server you want to use if you want to e-mail a message at the same
time you post it to usenet. Notice the button that says "Manage
identities". That's where I'd go if I wanted to post messages using a
faked identity. You can set up a completely separate set of folders
under Thunderbird for each identity.
8. Go to the Server Settings for your new account. Make sure that the
port number corresponds to the one specified for your selected server on
<http://www.eternal-september.org/index.php?showpage=techinfo>.
9. Set the other account settings as you desire.
10. Select "OK" on the Account Settings window.
11. Select your new account from the main Thunderbird window. It should
ask for your eternal-september userid and password somewhere along the
line, possibly here. It's been a long time since I first did that, and I
no longer remember exactly when it collected that information, but it's
NOT part of the Account Settings window. Possibly, even if I did
remember, the correct answer would have changed by now.
