When somebody spoofs you, the *best* response is to not complain and rather to
take it lightly, as a joke. As Tara says:
"It's not about the 'forgery' which wasn't one in this case, but it is how you
respond to this so called "forgery" that determines your true legitimacy."
Again, when somebody posted in my name but from a different e-mail address
("Tang Huyen" <tangh...@webtv.net>) for some months, I never protested.
Evelyn evidently liked the spoofing and gleefully reposted such a post (which
had been originally posted only in one NG) to four NGs. As she wrote:
"it certainly gave me a chuckle. (most likely a troll with an excellent sense
of humor)"
Which is just about the *right* way to take when somebody spoofs you, though she
wasn't the recipient then.

I must tell you that I don't think this reply is from the REAL Tang Huyen
but it certainly gave me a chuckle. (most likely a troll with an excellent
