Joel,

I'm curious about one thing.. Above is an extracted header from the 
post you claim is really you. Notice it comes from compuserve. Look 
at the "received by bighorn.terra.net" line and the line below it.

Now below is that "fake" message.

And look at the "received from" line again. Look, it's comming from 
compuserve as well!

I really do not think we have a problem with someone faking a post 
here. All of the fake posts have been easily traceable to a domain by 
the headers. 

NO FAKE POSTS THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS CAME FROM 
COMPUSERVE.

So what is it Joel? Are you giving your account out and someone 
posted it from your account? Does that mean all private email sent to 
you should not be considered private?

Or did you have one too many tugs of that guiness and then realized 
"Whoops" and are now trying to cover it up?

Please tell us which it is. Inquiring minds what to know...

Ken
