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. :)



An exterminator would be more useful. I have several of the spoofing
assholes snapping at my heels. It's the only way they can demonstrate
their worth, I suppose. Most of them are boatless or no longer boaters.
