   I'm not in the loop. I've only randomly seen a few posts from Rick   
   about this.   
      
   It seems that news://alt.os.development (which I don't frequent)   
   has some more info about this. Indeed, there he is (claiming to be)   
   impersonated by others. That is fairly serious!   
      
   Don't take this the wrong way, Frank, but I wish that was made   
   more obvious here instead of just saying "let this be the end of it".   
   I don't think this problem is quite going to "go away" on its own.   
      
   I'm too naive, I've never bothered (why would I?), but perhaps   
   Rick can sign his messages with GnuPG or whatever? Certainly a   
   time-waster, but if needed, couldn't that be used to verify his   
   posts?
