is!). At the moment all the forged posts _seem_ to have
"albasani.net" in the "Path" header and can be identified that way,
though of course the perp may switch to an alternate provider.
If you see an unexpectedly anal post from someone, check the headers
of the post in question and try to compare it to much older
(presumably less anal) posts from that same person.
YAWN.
Snort.
