What credentials? As a spammer?

I expect the "a a" identity comes from the "name" associated with the email account. So, getting it to show up as "a a" does not require getting a new account, simply changing the name on the existing account. I post here with a Google account and can change the "name" at will, and sometimes do.

Demand? Are you serious? That's like demanding someone have a driver's license for entrance into a cheap bar.

Identify the usenet provider they are using and do password recovery to take
over their fraudlent account. it's not identiy theft so long as
manta103g@gmail.com is legitimately your email address.

If you hadn't reposted his crap I would not have seen it at all.

Classic email was originally based on trust on an academic network.

Belated attempts to add security with SPF and DKIM mainly results in
misconfigured ISP servers dropping genuine emails from small businesses
on the floor while spammers unfortunately still manage to get through.

It was much worse back in the era of the SWEN worm. These days I don't
see very much backscatter from forging my Usenet ID at all.

It used to be much more of a problem decades ago.

I also used to get a lot of backscatter from my Usenet posting msgid
tags which superficially looked like email addresses in the ew*@ and
fw*@ ranges and got harvested. The demise of my ISP reset that counter
once and for all - they all fail no such domain now.

Well Bozo, we sure as Hell know you AREN'T an electrical engineer. I just have graduate EE degree (as well as other degrees) and worked in the field, including at a National Laboratory in a senior position, for over forty years. You sure as Hell never worked at a National Laboratory.

Spare me your third-string comparisons. You denigrate me not knowing SHIT about what I have accomplished. This says FAR MORE about your sorry character than me. I feel SORRY for your miserable life and am GLAD I am not you. Your punishment is BEING YOU!

Please, this is your standard tactic: cite unnamed individuals to back your false claims. It just doesn't work, Bozo.

LOL! That would be like getting into a pissing contest with a skunk. I will pass on that.

Of course it does - you are just TOO STUPID to realize it
