Didn't say you did, Marc. Didn't mean to so much as imply it was you.
If that's the way it came across: Please accept my apologies.
Hadn't even occurred to me it might have been you. Had they been
signed by you: Sure. But, tho I don't know you, somehow I can't
imagine you forging approvals for bogus newsgroups. If I were a
gambling man, my bet would be on somebody that wanted to see the bogus
newsgroups on whatever they had for news service.
I wonder if it worked?
Anyway, I was just pointing-out that one-or-more forged cmsg's were
sent, that the person to whom I replied might better understand just
how messed-up things were.
