...Or even misquote it by putting in some nasty self-inflicted insults. In a
different newsgroup, this has been happening every hour recently. I am still
among the luckier participants not to have been targetted. John once said
that the best solution is never to disclose your identity in any way. Mind
the message headers too.

Some do it for spite. If someone posts an insult, I don't think archiving is
a concern. In fact, it is often encouraged.
