I am curious why he thinks I am an impostor Reggie, and what is
different in my writing style. But if he knew how to read headers, he
could check the IP. Giganews would catch someone spoofing an IP in a
heartbeat, and if jps would forward the spoofed IP to Comcast and
Giganews, I would lose both my ISP and my newsgroup server. I also
believe it is a federal law against spoofing IP, so I could be in real
trouble.


Show me your IP address genius...


I stand corrected, and do apologize. While most ISP Usenet servers
always include an IP in the headers, it appears that GigaNews sometimes
includes a IP address and other times they do not.

If you prefer to believe that I am an impostor Reggie, feel free. We
can pretend that the old Reggie died, and I stole his ID. Now most
people who know me from this Newsgroup and via email discussion on other
topics, would disagree with you. But then again, this is Usenet so that
is the norm.
