No TC, Dejanews will prove you wrong. I called you those _after_ you
admitted trying to get me mad.
} "I am not from the Dream Team; I am the MEAN Team".
You're so manly when you talk tough. Giggle.
} O.K. Let's forget this from now on.
Always trying to get the last word, eh? Doesn't work.
} I know that UUnet might be the "main" passthrough site, according to your
} comments. However, do you mean there is no second connection to bypass
} UUnet (if people alias it out)?
No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that "if UUNET is in the
fastest path for an article to get to you, you won't see it, period".
Since any feed site will only offer it to its feed once, if its copy
came thru UUNET, it won't try feeding a copy that didn't come through
UUNET in the future. Ad-infinitum amongst earlier systems in the chain.
} It might depend on how news.answers works (of course you know much more
} than I do here). Maybe a cancel is O.K. What I meant is, say, now I
} am the bad guy. You have an FAQ on wires. Now I forge a post from you
} to news.answers, with the appropriate approval, but dump in irrelevant
} contents. In this case, when people go to the MIT site and look for your
} FAQ, they will read something like "Chris Lewis is a villain", not the
} real FAQ they are looking for.
This is no different technically from forging cancels. And can be answered
in exactly the same fashion.
} > Bad guess. Several of the kook cabal post "approved" FAQs (esp. Gonsalez,
} > and I think Vulis), and chances are they are on this list.
} If that is the case, I apologize here..... But according to what you
} said, this kind of attack is already being used. I mean, I did not
} proliferate some "classified" information.....
Through blind luck.
