Many headers of nntp messages are added by the
server, not by the client, making them relatively
hard to forge; very much harder that the "from" field
of an email, at least.

I do bet that while Mouse was sending the message
at the head of the present thread, a computer accessing
the net thru the same connection (possibly but
not necessarily the same computer; they could be distinct
machines on the same NAT router) was spitting cancels.
