So not much use.

2) the Groundhog newsreader (which AFAIK is Android specific and so
offers some additional means to check) 3) the use of aioe.org as the
news posting host


There are rather a *lot* of smart phones out there; being Android-based
probably isn't much help either.

plus

4) the ID spoofed is often one whose "real owner" hasn't posted for a
day or two at least and so is, perhaps, assumed to be unlikely to
immediately notice the impersonation.


Clever, that.

Also interesting that the spoofers/impersonators have joined in the
attack on the "real" Judith and stirred things up even more. She can, I
think, be forgiven for getting a bit uppity.


Checking the posting history it seems she has 'form', for both name-
changing to get around kill-files, and being uppity quite a lot. Still,
if she behaves in urg, let sleeping dogs lie I say.
