Telepathy. Or, ask the Oracle of Delphi. Other than that, I wouldn't
know. For instance, if I claim to be `kai@acm.org', is this true or
false? How can you find out? How can Gnus find out?
As someone recently suggested using *.org addresses to reduce the
amount of spam one gets, that isn't at all an unlikely suggestion, is
it?
