It was pretty disgusting and I hadn't seen any of the other ones when "Chuq" posted his notice that he had called John Williams boss and complained. I didn't see anyone defending ~JW (or whoever) and I began to worry about the safety of posting to the network... Today, on Net.news.groups someone else is implying that these messages were bogus things created by someone unknown with a "smart" shell script which "forks" an anonymous process with counterfeit address info into a site's mailing directory. The message goes out with anyone else's name on it ( anyone that the nefarious evil-doer desires ). For proof the System Manager who makes the claim points to some perfectly forged memoes from Bruce Springstein and some earlier not quite so perfect Paul McCartney and some Kremvax (Kremlin-vax) articles inserted anonymously into the net. Now the Plot thickens and I'm waiting impatiently for further comments...
