Which is more likely?

A. Someone with a resentment against Supernews uses their
name as part of a flood attack on sci.crypt.

B. Supernews, one of the largest and best news services
in existence, decided to sign its name to a flood attack
so that everyone would despise them.

I am a paying customer of Supernews and know which case
seems more likely to me.

Well, exactly. Still, if they resent Supernews, why did they urge
switching to Supernews in order to avoid their attack?

So as to make people think that Supernews was behind
the attack.

I am acquainted with one fellow from Supernews through
some committee work we do online. I heard of them
for years before I finally signed up with them. I
think it's pretty safe to say that this is not the
way Supernews drums up business.
