I only foam on Fridays myself..... :-)

That was just a sly reference to your real "location" (i.e. your NTNTP
client host):
$ host -a 206.246.124.51
Name: poseidon.crosslink.net
Address: 206.246.124.51
but it really meant you're posting to the address@hidden via the
recently (but perhaps not very wisely) resurrected mail2news gateway and
doing so with a not only obfuscated, but also invalid, e-mail address.

Hmmm..... what's this all about then?
$ smail -v -bv address@hidden
address@hidden ... not deliverable: unknown host
$ host -a olagrande.org
olagrande.org does not exist, try again
$ whois olagrande.org
Whois Server Version 1.3
Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
No match for "OLAGRANDE.ORG".
>>> Last update of whois database: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 02:27:14 EDT <<<
The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and
Registrars.
is there a typo in your ~/.sig, or are you really trying to hide from
the Usenet spam monsters?
(I don't really like people posting to what are primarily e-mail forums
with obfuscated e-mail addresses, but then again I'm not much of a fan
of the remains of the public Usenet system either.)
