NO HE DID NOT!
LOOK AT PATHS.  THIS IS A FORGERY!

PLEASE READ THIS.  I DID NOT MAKE THAT POST!

This posting did not come from our office, but we are tracing it.
If you look carefully at headers you will find sites that don't exist, 
and see that it does not trace back to scheidel@gate.net.

We have a good idea of who it is and some admins are helping us trace it 
by comparing the posting on their machine to other postings.

If you have the time and ability to help us trace this, we can give you 
info on who is doing it and maybe try to pressure HIS site to drop him.

Again, I did not do this post, and we have taken great pains to avoid 
offending anyone, and to date this is my first flame, even if undeserved.

I thank those who looked at headers and saw it was a forgery, and look 
forward to a solution to this.
