<Sigh> Some evil miscreant did that with one of my identities
(sent a spam run with my nym in the "From:" line), and managed to
get a complaint sent to my stoopid ISP, who shut down my account
for "spamming". Took me several days to get it all straightened
out. I had to point out to "support" that the headers in the
complaint most certainly did not contain "my" IP address. They
grudgingly put me back online, but never would show me the
"evidence". Stoopid Comcast.
