Something similar happened to me just before Christmas - I received an
e-mail that said it was a HIT for a request *I* had posted a few months
ago, which I thought was strange.  I deleted it.  Last year someone used my
name to post an offensive message to the list.  Peter dropped the person,
as I recall.  Wierd stuff.
