Hey,

I have noticed that there are two posts recently made on usenet that
say they are from me, they even show up in my google groups page - but
I didn't write them. �I attempted to flag them as phoney, but I find
it very troubling.

This has never happened to me before, I didn't even think it was
possible to spoof someone in this way.

Anyone have any idea how this could be done and more importantly how
to stop it?

Its something that if left unaddressed marginalizes whatever I say.
Because;

�1) if I do nothing - then another can post any damn thing as me he
wants
�2) if I change my online name - then people who know me as that
person can't find me
�3) if I announce publicly that I'm being spoofed, then no one knows
for sure if its me writing

so, I guess I have been failed by Google, and the those who don't want
me to have a fair and honest forum to speak my piece, have won.

Ah well.

If anyone wants to see if you actually wrote a particular post, they'll
probably just compare the headers. It's pretty hard to spoof all of them,
so the fake will just be plonked.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, I think most readers know your writing
style by now.- Hide quoted text -

Just change a few options in your newsreader and you can be anyone you
like.

An overstatement, you are recognized as much by your writing style as
the name attached to your post. �In particular the spoofer you recently
attracted is quite recognizable as not being you, but rather some one
else who posts here under two different names.

Actually Jack, Google carries less that 15% of the total newsgroups on
Usenet.

Also, Google has no ability to delete posts once they are posted on
Usenet newsgroups.

However none are show stoppers - and in the end, we believe we can get
an integrated system together for about $0.03 per peak watt.

So, here's how the new system stacks up;

new system

55% conversion efficiency to hydrogen
3.8 metric tons per hour per sq km of sunlight
$16.5 million per sq km capital cost
$5.2 million per year/sq km.
31.5% APR

current system

15% conversion efficiency to hydrogen
1.1 metric tons per hour per sq km of sunlight
$12.6 million per sq km capital cost
$1.5 million per year/sq km.
11.9% APR

Google/NOVA Usenet knows everything that's good or bad about Usenet.
They just elect to allow such spoof nasty insiders or MI5/CIA spooks
to take place.
