assuming that this is a forged posting [and there is every reason to believe
it is; why would a person post anonymously and put their name in the body?]
what this really is, is the latest silly stunt being pulled by internet
abusers.  what they do is post something incredibly stupid and put
"misc.test" in the newsgroup line.  what this does is cause a few
autoresponder hosts to send you a copy of your posting by email.  i suspect
that the autoresponders are under control of the host system administrator
with some system administratiors [but fortunately not that many] playing
the game of autoresponding to "misc.test" postings.

this was recently a problem on chi.general with some people cross posting
out of one of the "joel-furr" newsgroups.

yeah, it's incredibly stupid, but this is a game to some people who abuse
the internet with this kind of mindless bs.  anyway, the point of this
"game" is for you to get "caught"; i.e. end up with your response ending
up on "misc.test".
