IMHO usenet is the worst possible choice for flames, bad'er than 
 mail(-ing-lists), even.

Usually I take flames where they belong: on a personal basis. But here 
 I guessed that my comments were of interest for the rest of the list, 
 too. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I may not've been too tactful, yes.

Any comments on the topic of forging addresses[0]?

0: No, this isn't personal, either, just an attempt to get back 
 on-topic.
