What Richard said.  Jacob, I'm only a "regular" in the sense of 
regularly reading this forum, not posting, but I have a hard time 
believing any of the regular contributors is behind this childish attack 
on you.  I'm afraid that your reaction to it may just encourage the 
troll.  Is there any authority to whom you can report the spoofing of 
your name and email?  Surely this is actionable behavior, and the 
culprit should lose their account at the least.
