Oh, it was a fine rant, either way-- a first-class job, even.  :-)

I wasn't motivated enough to compare the headers versus other postings, or to 
check whether the IP that claimed to be "hub.freebsd.org" actually is-- if you 
control reverse DNS for some netblock, you can make any box claim to be a 
certain hostname.

Seriously, if you received a message saying "Dear Jeremy", would you:

(a) not really care,
(b) be annoyed, and tell the guy, "call me Ishmael", or some such [1], or
(c) cross-post flamebait between freebsd-current and -stable...?

Sorry, I'm too sober to remember any AoD quotes, and my RealJob(tm) has a rule 
that says that we shouldn't drink before lunch.
