This forgery has been causing mailed replies to appear in comp.sys.apollo. I'm sure that David Perlman, one of the coolest contributors to rec.music.misc, isn't to happy about this either.

Two unsuspecting trivia fans have already unknowingly sent their replies to comp.sys.apollo. Please do not reply either to apollo@berkeley.edu or to dap@cgl.ucsf.edu (I doubt he wants them either) BTW. I thought Dap's parody on the typical rec.music.misc question was highly amusing! This one would have been mildly amusing, but for the side-effects. I doubt if the perpetrator was unaware of them. though. "I'm gonna git you, sucka!" (Apollo G++ -- Gnu gin martini!)

Vermouth, for those who don't know, is a pseudonym Paul McCartney used when producing the song "I'm The Urban Spaceman" for the Bonzo Dog Band. I doubt he's posting to the net under this pseudonym, though.
