Petty bickering snipped.

I have been lurking, trying to follow this thread. But I don't
understand all the technical details.

How secure is DejaNews. Could a net KOOK for example forged
their NNTP header, so DejaNews reports someone elses IP address?

This thread has me wondering, as the various news.admin.net-abuse.
groups seem to be full of munged addresses. Could Deja news be
joed into accepting a bogus IP. I don't want to know how to do it
just if it is possible. Seems like someone could start a BIG online
war doing this.

As someone said early, these posts came from iSTAR, Newforce, Cyberus, FTN
UUNet and NCF. I can't remember if I missed any. I don't know if the person
has accounts on all those ISPs, as I missed some of the thread.
