Both of them should. After all, this is in alt. One person's opinion that the
group is invalid carries no more weight than another's that it is. What we have
here is pure pig-headedness from both parties at the expense of the rest of us.
The forgeries are certainly bad form, but we'd have the same argument if the
person did it under his own name. 

I see no real difference between this and Bruce Becker's activities with regards
to keeping alt groups alive, except that most people know Becker won't back
down, so they stop fighting it. Poskanzer could learn from this.
