Yeah, his argument is severely flawed -- perhaps the server admin requires
the poster to appear before him with 3 types of idea and 2 signed affidavits
stating that he is indeed the authorized "sender" before allowing any post
to be injected.
We don't know if they know, and we don't know if they don't; that's up to
them to decide.
