  Please DO NOT assume that an individual named in the "Reply-To" field
of a BIFF forgery is the real poster of the message.

  BIFF forged hundreds of messages in a very short period of time, and
used SEVERAL DIFFERENT REPLY-TO ADDRESSES in those messages.

  This implies rather clearly that he was trying to spread the blame
around, and that in fact the Reply-To addresses were, like the rest of
the messages, forged.

  Please do not flame innocent people for something they most likely did
not do.
