   In some parts of the world, giving advice regarding treatment of a   
   medical condition while posing as a Doctor will get you some serious   
   prison time. Using the internet (a "carriage" service - quaint term) to   
   do so compounds the crime.   
      
   Anyone can discuss medical issues as long as the are not pretending to   
   be doctors. I am amazed that no one has brought this fool to the   
   attention of the relevant authorities.   
      
   Maybe I should follow his advice, document that fact that my diabetic   
   control got worse, and register a complaint about him using my real name   
   and address.   
      
   Actually the guy who owns alt.net is pretty decent when it comes to   
   issues like this, maybe he might decide to kick the pretender out into   
   the open, make him use an ISP that doesn't hide his posting details. I   
   think that if a bunch of people emailed him about a phoney Doctor hiding   
   behind his network he might act.
