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. > [I also get called by my surname but haven't quite reached the level of > aggravation suggested by the initial posting]. 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...? -- -Chuck [1]: "Who are you?" "No one of consequence..." 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.
