It's been happening in a lot of newsgroups lately. Mostly technical
and hobby newsgroups. Someone is forging headers pretending to be
newsgroup regulars. Then they cross post to other newsgroups. The
idea is for the others to block your messages in a kill file. If
they do that to enough people and others block them all, the
newsgroup dies. That's the mission.

Advice to those here? Just ignore the threads or kill a post using
the subject rather than the poor guy who has been forged. After all,
Mike is a good guy and the forger is not.

Yeah.It's some kind of Bot..the guy hooks it up downlaods a few messages
and then replies with cross posting using the same names to a bunch of
other places and injects random garbage.

It may kill usenet completely..it certtainly slows the 'net down.
