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?
