Spoofed? What do you mean by spoofed?


Spoofing, by definition, is a "situation in which one person or program
successfully masquerades as another by falsifying data." So, simply, if one
of the spoofers, trying to save life as we know it, is offended by you they
will falsify their identity and, say, become you, posting all sorts of stuff
you would not post.

You have to closely monitor headers to even figure out who you are actually
posting to.


Jesus, that's right out of grammar school. Sounds like rec.boats should
hire a hall monitor. :)
