Who's the idiot trying to impersonate Dave then?

So there's a tosser on the usenet? no surprise really, they're everywhere. i guess we all have to watch the references or reply to lines from now on. Still at least it looks like the guy is an amateur. problems. BTW i welcome your next 'strong' opinion dave, this lists been pretty quiet recently. brian

All, Dave Bowers may well have strong opinions and views but I think its a bit much trying to rally people against him by sending "fake" e-mail. Sadly for said person, they left one or two footprints lying around. Firstly the article which was allegedly written by Dave was replied to and the wondefull quoting system displayed: Dave's e-mail address doesn't end in atlas.co.uk, mistake number one. Secondly, they tried to e-mail Dave via The Pits feedback form. Not a good idea. The message follows: ----------------------------------------------------------- Subject:Email from The Pits Comment Form. ------------------------------------------------------------ Name:asswipe bowers Your URL:[link lost in import] Other Details/Comments: you've been hacked asswipe stop sending *** messages thru the newsgroups or i will do it again Add to List?: Yes! ------------------------------------------------------------ DEBUG INFORMATION FOR ADMIN: PLEASE IGNORE! - NJ Server protocol: HTTP/1.0 Remote host: line168.atlas.co.uk Remote IP address: 193.131.167.200 ------------------------------------------------------------- So, your Dave are you? I think not. After all I've got the host address and IP address too. If we could be really bothered I could probably trawl back through the posts in r.a.s to find out who this is. I'm not standing up for what Dave says. I don't agree with everything he says and he can be rather sharp. However, what I can't stand is people trying to be clever and get get other people into trouble. Dave seems reluctant to post to r.a.s again thanks to this fool. If you've got a problem with what he says then e-mail him direct and have it out with him or start a flame war on alt.flame. Jed The Pits www.ukps.com/thepits
