Impersonating IDs via proxies is apparently ridiculoulsy easy.

You sure that's what happened? The headers on the, um, OP are consistent
with messages (presumably) posted by your actual account - message ID,
User-Agent, NNTP-Posting-Host, path from your NNTP server to mine; they
even went to the trouble to spoof your Organization header. You sure you
didn't just leave XNews logged on while you were in the bathroom and had
a guest over with an obnoxious sense of humor?

I think it might be best if we all just ignored that post. Freezer's been
a valuable member of this group for a long time and, no matter what that
post's origin, it doesn't fit with his overall body of work. Ignore it,
as I have, unless another one like it pops up.
