My sympathies. It's a stupid, stupid prank, and it's not even remotely 
funny. And yes, it's happened to me, so I know roughly how you're 
feeling right now.

Whoever's doing this - please stop being such a bone-headed moron.

I doubt very much whether it's anyone intelligent, which lets out a good 
few of the regular contributors to this group... but by no means all of 
them, alas.

It's not just a joke. It can actually be quite distressing. But yes, you 
should keep calm and let it go. You've done the important thing already, 
which is to notify us that someone is spoofing you. Those of us who 
actually care about this sort of thing will take note, and be on the 
lookout for future spoofing.

Are you sure? I certainly don't recall you ever being spoofed between 
1999 and 2010, and I think I would have remembered something like that.
