but since you just sent two posts, you expected to get to auth messages... if
you get one tomorrow morning, you'll probably be curious to see why...
also, true, some people will automatically reply to auth messages
sometimes... but if it's not consistent, then a malicious spoofer can't
know that they do that, and cannot rely on them to authorize his posts...
does that make sense?
