I highly doubt it's Bob. He may be a lot of things, but I truly don't think
he's

a) stupid enough to sign his own name to an anonymous remailer
b) stupid enough to post the same post multiple times.

Maybe, maybe not, but I'll bet if we check the archives he blamed NASA
management's choice of Bible on that mission for the loss of Columbia.

A poorly done forgery, but evidently done well enough to leave gullible
folk undecided.

The question it leaves is (if I may paraphrase from the movie "The
Untouchables"): "Who would claim to have written that...that didn't?"

You're probably right. As far as point (b) goes, often anon remailers
are set up in "chains", i.e. the post travels through more than one
remailer. Since remailers are not all that reliable - they tend to come
and go - very often a message will be sent through more than one chain
to increase the odds that it will make it to its ultimate destination.
If that's the case here then it's possible that the message was only
sent once. It appeared twice because both chains successfully made the
delivery.

....Faith doesn't enter into it. Greg just proved once and for all that
my claims of his being an idiot are correct. If I can't have the

Chrisnukkah, this is a good substitute present in my book!

The real trick would be trying to separate a real Hallerb posting from a
fake one, based on internal content. This would be like trying to tell a
real Jackson Pollock painting from a faked one by looking at it-
Hallerb's posts may contain just about anything, and that content may be
spelled in any one of numerous ways. Similarly, without having some
witness who can remember Pollock doing a particular "painting".... or a
radiological examination of the "art" that indicates that it dates from
after Pollock's death in 1956, it would be hard to tell whether one was
looking at a Pollock painting- or a section of a messy paint shop's floor.
In much the same way, a computer could be programed to generate "Random
Hallerb Postings" (RHPs) with considerable fidelity to the real item.
I suggest Julian Bordas to program the random spelling part of the program.

No, Pollocks method was not nearly as random as folks think. Hallerb is
far more random, a more appropriate comparison might be to some of John
Cage's stochastic music.

If only Hallerb and some of the others would be inspired by Cage's work
"Silence."
