Please do your homework in your local test newsgroup before posting to
the net. As the first step, I suggest that you use message-id's that
have more than 30% different symbols and are not of the same length
and structure:

->From: dan@CONGRESS.DC.GOV (Dan Quale)

->Message-ID: <9208291741.AB97909@saul.cis.upenn.edu>
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
When you know how to do this, go ahead and study more advanced
techniques.  For example, creating a fake posting, check if you copy
the signature of a person correctly.

Not only do I suspect who is doing this, I know that!

What should one do in order to read, write or whatever one is supposed

  actually, only 7-bit text can be sent over USENET, so the text coming
  from RELCOM is KOI-7 apparently without the switches, which makes it
  rather difficult to convert to Russian font (e.g. X11 font) while still
  keeping the English words intact. One way to do it though, if anyone has
  enough motivation, is no write a program that would detect where the
  Russian KOI-7 starts by noticing that the words are all capitalized
  except maybe the first letter, such as at the beginning of a sentence.
  Then, it would put a switch at that place (such as ^N) and a switch at
  the end (such as ^O). Then the popular conversion program fr-koi7 can be
  used to convert it to KOI-8 and then displayed on your X11.

I have already read it a few times... Vladimir Il'ich, gi'me a break!

PS: a week or so ago I was helping as an interpretor for a large group
of Russians from Cherepovecs, on a "sister city" tour in NH and MA.
There was a large scale souvenier exchange between the hosts and the visitors,
the latter giving away mostly pins and buttons. Evidently, they ran out of
anything decent, so they treated everyone with red flags, stars and lenins.
(can you imagine a police officer with a big red star - pretty ominous!)

The funniest thing was a red pentargam pin, featuring baby Lenin in the midst.
Local folks were curious about the meaning of his image in the young age,
and soon the answer was found:

  that was the age the guy should never have been let to exceed!

I did not expect to come under such severe a criticism for my remarks:-).
Should I answer the "babushka" argument? Well, I'd just note that the fact
that Voronezh is a Russian city does not imply that Cossacks have no Ukrainian
roots.

Seriously, I may be wrong in saying that the Don Cossacks have a Ukrainian
ethnic background. Of course, most of their ancestors came to the Don from
Russia. But the people who established the Vojsko were, I beleive, the
Sich Cossacks, who fled the enslaving. And again I say that the language
they speak is closer to Poltava Ukrainian than to Moscow Russian.

As for Katherine the Great, who "tamed" the Cossacks, who after that allegedly became pro Tsarist:
This is simply not true. Katherine made most of them into slaves. A part
turned to the Crimean khan offering their service. As far as I understand,
another part passed to the Don and established the Vojsko.

As for ethnicity of the Sich Cossacks: Hrushevsky says, as far as I remember,
that most of the rank-and-files were Ukrainian peasants, but some of the
Cossacks came from the Polish/Polonized nobility, Khmel'nyts'kyj is one example.
After Khmel'nyts'kyj's successes, the Cossacks became very numerous as they
got some privileges and it was easy to declare oneself a Cossack.

Sasha.

P.S. The Khazars are so popular now... I must confess I am 100% Khazar.
My father is a Sich Cossacks' descendant, hence a Khazar, and my mother is
an Ashkenazi Jew, hence a Khazar.:-) This introduces some new pleasure in
reading the final scenes of "Kak nyne sbiraetsya veschij Oleg..."

Actually, the USENET relaying engines are 8-bit transparent.
RELCOM runs C-news without sufficient modifications. News readers,
text editors and mail is a different story. Anyway it moves
to 8-bit transparency as well (by joint efforts of European netters).
There is a version of sendmail available which handles ISO 10646
