Supernews filters out this sporgery spam. Get a better Usenet experience. Sign up for our risk-free trial today! https://www.supernews.com/signup Guys, this is a trick. I'm answering it and have reset where the post goes, but nobody else should directly answer it. The follow-up is set to sci.crypt. The idea is that people who don't pay attention won't notice they're posting in anger to sci.crypt and will overload that group. Apparently someone behaved on sci.crypt in such a way that his newsgroup provider, Supernews, kicked him off. So he's trying to get two revenges at once -- overloading sci.crypt and making people think Supernews is a bad company. And I'm wondering what you're referring to, Marilee, since I see no post in rec.crafts.jewelry, at least not on the earthlink news server, that matches what you've described. I'm presuming you've found a post on rcj with a forged approval header somewhere, but apparently, at least some news servers recognize and reject the forgery, or the poster... Where'd you see the posting? Peter |

Earthlink apparently blocked it. Kudus to them, for once. It appears the "attack" also was stopped or limited by someone, somewhere, which is good since from my end, there seems little to be done in any case. Only the originating ISP, I'm guessing, can properly trace the real origin of the post, since it appears to me that virtually all the identifying headers are forged. Bottom line, I guess, is ignore it and don't respond to it, and maybe it will go away... cheers Peter |
