 The messages are not mine; they're being sent from a bogus account on a
 Webmail service known as FastMail. An abuse report has been filed with
 that service. Until the account is disabled, kindly ignore all mail from
 that address.

*sigh* Brett, this is off-topic.  We've repeatedly asked you in the
last few days not to send off-topic mail.  Please don't do it again.

Yes, we realize that the mail is forged.  You're not exactly the only
one who's had his name abused in this manner, and we're doing what we
can to bring the perpetrator(s) to justice.

Actually, it isn't that off topic.  The forgery was a good one, so one
disclaimer is warranted.  Multiple ones aren't, of course, but a one
shot isn't that bad.
