Actually, I was responding to an e-mail that Robert B. sent in response to
one you'd sent one *month* ago, and then you responded in May and then he
responded and then I responded again. It was a dead topic that seemingly
resurrected itself (judging by the dates & time of posts... or did I
accidentally resurrect it... can anyone clarify for me).

Ok, I haven't the foggiest notion as to how to spoof an e-mail header in the
first place. And, secondly, can someone please explain to me how to spoof an
e-mail (I've always wondered how to do that).

Sorry, I have to run really badly but I can assure everyone that I did not
intend to take a private conversation public (AFAIK all the comments were
already in the public domain... he did post something about land in public
to Dylan's message), or to spoof the list.

Eric.

I'd go for the latter because I don't even know how to spoof e-mail.
