Different, how? Why was the email not clearly marked as coming
from Bastian, with the contents: I got this from Ingo with a request
to bounce to devel? (That is overlooking the fact that this was a
gross abuse of a genral announce list, which, as a DD, bastion should
have known better).

Not unless the contents are fit to be on d-d-a, which was not
the case here, and if and only if the header properly attribute the
DD from whom the message is supposed to be coming from.

Looking at the headers of the message, sounds more like he
colluded with ingo to bypass the restrictions of d-d-a. Which does
not seem to be better.
