As Chris has pointed out, is an address that anyone
can use (we both do, and no doubt countless others as well) so using
that is no guide to whether any particular post is from any
particular person. It is possible, howeve, to look at previous posts
and decide if you really want to be bothered with sorting out who's
who. Yours - at least the person using
(assuming it's not some kind of clever forgery) do not make me want
to - so -

into the bozo bin you go.

Now I'm getting really confused over who is who and who isn't!!!!!!!

Please review the thread "Window Box in Shade". This was started by
"Judith in England" on 27 June. The poster used the
address, Groundhog newsreader and posted via aioe.org.

[ASIDE - Chris Hogg was impersonated in the thread "Another One Six
Feet Under" on 29 June by someone who used the address,
Groundhog newsreader, and aioe.org.]

Dave responded to the op in the window box thread with a question that
was quickly answered by someone called "Jilly" using the
address, Groundhog newsreader and aioe.org.

I have no old posts to check but the post from Emrys Davies to which
this is a response, comes from someone using the
address, using the Groundhog newsreader and aioe.org.

I therefore wonder whether I am replying to Emrys Davies or to the
imposter! I suspect the latter.

Meanwhile, I assume that the real Judith is the one who uses Forte
Agent 7, the jm..... email address and Giganews. It would be helpful
if she could use either "Judith" or "Judith in England" but not switch
between the two as she does in the space of 50 minutes in the window
box thread.

Might it be an idea if people stop using the address?
That at least removes one common feature. An address along the lines
of lid does the trick and (for those who wish to
be pedantic) complies with Individual.net's terms of service.

snipped cos you've read it already

Having now downloaded nearly 22,000 posts (again!) and searched
through, it would seem that Emrys Davies (the real one) uses Windows
Live Mail, not Groundhog. I have also noticed another common
denominator in the impersonations, so we have:

1) email address (usually but not always and this is
easy to spoof of course)
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

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.

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. I would in her
situation.

So check the group every day, folks.

So not much use.

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

Clever, that.

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.
