Ok, folks, don't dissect mine, I'm using MXRN.  I'll dissect his letter:

Let's take a look at this:  

1.) Message-ID: <>  -  I consider this a dead giveaway.
2.) Sender: (Usenet Admin)  <---  bad form.
3.) Organization: " "  -  enough people have hit you for that one.  You just
plain forgot it, didn't you?

I tried making an anonymous multi-file poster, and it worked, EXCEPT for one
line that NCSU admin or somebody put in:  Originator:   .  How do you like that!
Two weeks of work fouled by a sysop.
