Nmore rumor rumors
NSome random thoughts on the datamat!rumor article.
N
N1) it did not enter the net at utzoo by having someone
N   there run rnews to submit it.  If they had, utzoo
N   would have seen the article.  If it entered at decvax,
N   it would not have been sent to utzoo -- the anti loop
N   code in news will not send an article to any system
N   on the return path.  Since the article did show up at
N   decvax, it entered the net there.
N
N2) what probably happened is that someone on the west coast
N   (Note the PDT in the date line) created the article
N   and ran  uux - decvax!rnews <fake article.
N
N3) there is no way to prevent this (short of an elaborate
N   public key encryption scheme).
