So you get to have your say.

About the only spoof I'm going to be able to spot is someone
pretending to be me. This wasn't the first, it won't be the last. I'm not
going to impose a signed message requirement for posting.

The post from the other pr0ix apologizing certianly looked a lot like a
spoof, so I did what I could to verify that one, including checking
hushmail signatures, and mailing back to see if I got a response. He
responded. The signature for the message portion didn't verify, but none
of them did. However, the attachments (code) did. So, whoever posted the
original note also posted the latter one, or someone did a good job of
stealing his hushmail account.

So in short, sorry you had someone pretending to be you. I can do nothing
but allow you to claim it wasn't you. For all I know, the other guy is the
real one, and you're the one spoofing.

I'd really like to have this be the last post on the topic.
