disrupt the newsgroups (more than usual, that 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.
