Most of my requests for have been simple. I will admit that - MVP's will
agree, I feel sure. When I came back to this discussion group, I find someone
has forged my name an address "wassup.doc@hushmail.com" putting in as their
message the single word "Help". (See by searching for wassup.doc under this
newsgroup 10/26/2007.) Is there any way to report or better still, stop
this? MTiA, David.

Unfortunately for you - you do not 'own' the 'wassup.doc' moniker in a
public newsgroup in particular.
I assume you are saying that the email is yours as well? That you may be
able to take issue with.
It looks like the wassup.doc poster (you?) uses the web interface at
Microsoft.
It looks like the wassup.doc poster (you?) posts from 10.40.244.x (likely
some wireless assigned (or wired) DHCP private LAN.)
Now maybe some of those are you, some aren't - I dunno. There's not much
you can do - nor do i see anything to get ruffled about.

Don't use a bot-readable or functional e-mail address in your posting
ID. (ie 'from'). This is readable every time you post. Any altered
form that an intelligence reader can comprehend is good enough. wassup.doc@husremovethishmail.com
wassup.doc(at)hushmail.com
E-mail addresses on newsgroups are regularly harvested by spammers and
others. Don't post it anywhere else in clear text, either.
My utmost gratitude, Legg. You pointed out something (ha, ha there is a lot)
I did not know. Your advice will be taken in future. David

Thank you, Shenan, for the great trouble you took to lead me right through
the maze. Although some of them *could* have fit my bio, I still do not think
I am such an idiot to post just "Help" as a post. Again, thank you very much.
David.
