-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

These are the forged cancels for my articles critical of Microsoft. *Many
Thanks* to the person who forwarded them to me; our server expires control
way too fast.

Somebody did an acceptable forge on the Message-ID, but the Path is quite
wrong. Can anybody help me catch this fool? I'm somewhat out of my element
here.

The most serious posts are available on the Web at
http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/win95netbugs/IP-Security-Bug.txt.asc,
and on the gopher archive at gopher://quixote.stanford.edu/1m/win95netbugs.

Also emailed to postmaster@internetmci.com and  postmaster@news.msfc.nasa.gov. 
Was that right? Doesn't microsoft.com get its news feed from internetmci? 
OK, I'll Cc them, because I know they don't want anyone to believe that 
this was done by a Microsoft employee.

The cancel for 
<Pine.ULT.3.91.951013145012.29858A-100000@Networking.Stanford.EDU>, only,
is legitimate, and provides a very good comparison. I'm sure the forger 
studied it; so should we.
