1. Joe the Troll posts that he is leaving and you mark@worldcom.com
(Mark) make your debut appearance in the DC.* groups shortly
afterwards.  DevaNews search will confirm this.

2. You pick up right where the previous incarnation of Joe left off.

3. Your posting path is consistent with all the previous incarnations
of Joe the Troll.  news2.cais.com.

4. A  whois search of your posting host.
