Here's an interesting article on how to forge headers

http://www.cynthiaarmistead.com/headers/headers.shtml

In particular, this part: "I know that some things can be forged, but
haven't a clue as to how to forge them--it isn't something most people ever
bother to learn, even if they are heavy internet users. Only net abusers and
those who want to stop them have to go to such lengths. "

I'll give you a scenario...

Someone starts posting on-topic for an extended period; might be a couple of
months. Then, they start posting things that are either off-topic or in a
quantity that is intended to disrupt a newsgroup, even if they say ahead of
time that they are going to do it.

Someone else (sometimes many regulars and lurkers) says "don't do it,
please", and that person (people) is then targetted by a couple of the OP's
friends, usually using forged header information in an attempt to hide their
real identity.

People have come into this group, stating that their particular method is
superior to that which the group has preferred for a long time. They have
claimed special knowledge of the subject, in this case newsreaders, but it's
recently happened with yEnc as well.

Man, are you ever paranoid.

Have you sent my 'forged' headers to Newsguy yet?

Idiot.

Dear Mr. 99 Percentile Alan Einstein,

We can certainly tell who has never once checked out a

you cut the MicroSoft chains of slavery that you wear

I'm sure that he cares, deeply.

I also notice that you _didn't_ say anything about dear Alan-me-lad and _his_
abuse and insults.

BTW, Alan-me-lad, have you sent my 'forged' headers to Newsguy yet?

crickets chirpping

Idiot.

Lee no care. Lee gave as good as he got.

Lee no liar. Lee not insult entire newswgroup.

Lee make no false accusations. Lee no hide in corner.

If Lee want, Lee get around Einstein's Kill-filter

Still whining that old song, off-key I might add.

To parrot MR. Heilan Laddie (Scotland Forever!),
it is part of NewsGuy's rules to prohibit
(read-cancel your friggin' account) any forging
of headers.

As Mr. Laddie is doing, I'm waiting for you to report
your suspicions to NewsGuy. I'll also be waiting for
your apology after they advise you that you're an idiot.

(crickets chirping over here too!)

While I wait, I'll let you know that even *I* feel
some pity for your ignorance and I'll offer more
sage advice to you.


"As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the
circumference of darkness surrounding it." (A. Einstein)


Rules of Engagement:
(1) Don't forget to fly the plane.
(2) The threat always changes.
(3) Stay calm.
(4) There will always be people who disagree with you.
(5) There will always be people who think differently.
(6) There will always be people who do things differently.
(7) Stay with the facts.
(8) Stay with the truth.
(9) Don't whine.
(10) Handle it.

Pay particular attention to #9

(useless drivel snipped)

With the fingers tapping on the table and the crickets
chirping, I will point out to Einstein that which is so
obvious to the sentient, I failed to mention...

Did you think that my posts through NewsGuy are subject to
whatever arbitrary rule from some arbitrary news service you
so arbitrarily mention? Global who?

Have you been complaing to the wrong place?

Try NewsGuy.com, Einstein
