Jakob,

I haven't had spoof attempts, but there are people out there that feel 
the need to edit _within_ the original text, even to the point of 
changing some of my grammar.  On some very rare occasions, they've 
changed that actual meaning of what I was trying to say, I hope by 
mistake.  This has caused offense to some, and we're all aware of how 
some people get hurt feelings very easily on mail lists.  ;)  This is 
why I sign my email.  This way, you know what I really sent.  That's 
all.

Thanks!
