Was that a real post by Chapman, or a forgery? It's getting quite hard to tell these days. Every time I see a post from "Chapman", I'm thinking "Is that really Chapman or yet another forgery?" It must be very frustrating for him knowing that that same question will be going through so many people's minds whenever they read a post of his. People no longer have the confidence that a post purporting to come from "Just zis Guy, you know?" really is from Chapman, now that there have been *so many* forgeries (a ridiculous number). It's dreadful, and no wonder that Chapman has considered taking drastic action to combat it.
