Kathy and Rebecca are right. I just looked at the mailing list. The headers
are the same as those of the usual forger, and at least one person has
named one of the same suspects[1]. This is a disgrace.

Mike, please reconsider your position. Your second RFD looks really good,
and the 5 groups that you chose are right on the money. You are a good
proponent. You've taken all of the feedback into account, good and bad, and
implemented the appropriate changes. Don't let this kook thwart your
efforts.
