A while back, I got into a flame war with a character who thought I had no
right to criticize his religion (no, not the Ayotolla, this guy belonged to
a religion that supposedly preaches tolerance).

Anyway, I stopped reading his mail, and just replyed to everyone I got with
a canned message telling him that I'm not reading his mail.  Well, recently,
I accidentally read one, where he threatened to flood me with messages.

So now, my mailbox is flooded.  Somebody, and I'll leave it to your
imagination to figure out who, forged a message from me to all the test
groups, including ones that we don't carry here.

Unfortunately, I never saved anything this jerk ever sent me, so I don't
know his address, just that his gcos name was 'doc'.  (I think it was an
.edu site - it fits with the fact that I didn't hear anything from him
between April and September).
So if you're a sys admin, and you have a person on your site called 'doc',
could you please tell me who he is, or conversely could you please tell him
to stop this before I'm forced to take stronger action.
