I suspect most people did see the "signatures" at the end of the
message. It would be very surprising if Robert Johnson wrote it
all himself. He mostly just posts regurgitated dogma. Original
material from him would be unsuspected, and if any ever comes, we
may miss it- the peril of excessively long and frequent
postings.

Did you ever hear the story about the boy who cried wolf?
