Google posting

On Aug 9th I answered the post to some Watson guy and 3 days later on
12th Aug another one shows up on sci.crypt -

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.a...b5034b186dab3f

Checking my profile on the second response still gives my e-mail
address and posting history correctly and that is a puzzle,It is one
thing to respond to a post and have it sent to sci.crypt,it is quite
another to have one sent indepedently 3 days later.

Any ideas ?.

They could be sidereal.

I do mind that Gmail is attached to the same account as Google groups
and sending an unauthorised posting to sci.crypt and
sci.astro,amateur simultaneously on 12th Aug is no small matter for
anyone considering that,unlike many of you,I take my posting seriously
as I do my private e-mail.

I did notice it a few weeks ago when I looked up the thread but with
the new attack threatening to send posts to sci.crypt I thought a few
participants who might care for the forum may be interested,know
something that prevents this disruptive nonsense or scare away the
nuisances who do these things . -

I have no more to say on the matter.

Yup. I'm a-guessin' it's the fault of those danged Catalog Astronomers
and Astrophotographers. You know, "astrologers with magnification."
The depth of their depravity knows no bounds.

Seriously, Gerald, one aspect of the current attack on s.a.a. and
other groups is that people's addresses and names are being spoofed. I
suspect it's been done to many of us, who've "appeared" on numerous
groups without our knowledge.

The problem is lack of depth and there is nothing I can do about that.

As for 'astrologers with magnification equipment',well I leave you
with the image that shows the depth of your understanding of the
natural noon cycle.

For quite some time now, a malicious individual has been posting large
amounts of random nonsense to sci.crypt to interfere with its
usefulness to people.

About a month or so ago, he posted a series of postings to a large
number of other groups stating that a "sporge flood" was imminent on
those groups. These postings had a reply-to field for sci.crypt; this
was simply another tactic so that indignant replies to those posts
would show up *in* sci.crypt, interfering with its use, but, since
they were real postings, they wouldn't be easy to filter out.

Since then, several other newsgroups - sci.astro.amateur,
rec.arts.books.tolkien, rec.arts.sf.written, among others - are also
being attacked by him. As well, some of the forged posts are using
text grabbed from other people's posts, and are being posted under the
names of real posters to make filtering them out harder.

I thought of that before I sent the posting,the difference is that the
'attacks' orginate as single threads whereas the posting in that
thread is a continuation.I know little about the ins and outs of these
things hence the legitimate question insofar as Google accounts binds
usenet postings with Gmail.

Thank you for the response.

As anyone who uses the Google newsreader knows,you have to log in to
post and the same account is used for Gmail.I would have understood
that my posting history profile would be seperate even if the nuisance
was using my e-mail address but apparently not.

I have little regard for the nuisance other than where it ties in with
Gmail

Sorry Oreo:

As a great man once said: "Sorry, that's not even _wrong_."
