It's illegal. Lemme tell you what happened to me. There was a distrubing influence
in another area of my interests. After a coulple of years putting up with his
inane and non-productive crock'o'crap I put up a funny webpage that purported
to send mail from him with any one of four of his usually "witty" remarks.

I never got a complaint about it from him or anybody else.

What I did get though was two provincial policemen from the computer
crimes division assereting that if I didn't take this down then I'd
be charged with no less than four felonies. Impersonation was the
first one, I don't remember the rest and it's questionable in my mind
if they'd have stuck. Whatever.

I took the page down and don't play that game no more.
