That is an attribution novel, not a proper attribution.  Not only is it too 
long, the name of the author is missing.  Also, the quotation level is 
wrong: the attribution line that *you* create is obviously not part of the 
quoted text, so it must not have a quotation character.  If your newsreader 
software (Windows Live Mail) cannot be configured properly, get a better 
one, such as KNode or Thunderbird/Icedove.

1. There is no “Javascript” (see also my sig).

2. It is worse than described in that article.  The code above will throw a 
   ReferenceError exception in strict mode if base etc. do not resolve to
   the property of an object or have not been declared identifiers of
   variables.  Or, if they resolve to properties of an object, and those
   properties can or cannot be written to, anything can happen, depending on
   the object and the property.  (The latter is independent of the execution 
   mode.)  We have discussed this here many times before.

3. The From header field value of your posting violates RFC 5536 and 
   disregards netiquette.  While that may be acceptable to a source of
   trolls such as aioe.org, in Usenet it is not.
