Makes sense. And I think in his case he is legitimately being forged (albeit
poorly) -- and I do get the desire to want to make it so people do not
confuse the two. If the "games" continue I will set my Usenet client to mark
the forger posts as read. I certainly do not agree with Marek on everything
but these stupid trolling game are just idiotic nonsense.
