Mailinglist privacy: MY NAME ALL OVER GOOGLE!

Laurent, let me spell it out - that last message was from me, Ted, not
from Fafa.  I forged Fafa's name on it to show how easy it is to
forge mail and how it is not legally viable or possible for the real
Fafa to prove that the messages in the archive are really from him,
thus he would have no grounds for suing anyone.

I am sorry that you got hoodwinked, but I cannot think of a better
illustration
of the point I was trying to make - that even when the message itself
says
it's a forgery, that people still get taken!!!

Ted
