Um, not quite.

I'm getting it from a usenet posting by someone who used
the return address markdemers15@xxxxxxxxxxx, the same
as yours.

This is also the same e-mail return address that appears
at this site:
http://jobs.phds.org/jobs/markdemers15/listing_2005_05_12

What is your position, that the above message
is a forgery? It certainly isn't "second hand from
another poster".

I don't know whether you are or aren't claiming to be
Mark Demers. I do know that you are posting from
an address "markdemers15@xxxxxxxxxxx" , or forging
that as a return address on your postings. I also know
that in one such message, the text "PhD in Theoretical
Physics, PhD in Finance" appeared after the name
Mark Demers.

No, this isn't a formal resume. It is nevertheless
a claim to having those credentials. Is your position
that you did not intend the parenthetical "PhD in Theoretical
Physics, PhD in Finance" to be interpreted as your
having a PhD in Theoretical Physics or Finance? It's
not as serious an ethical lapse as putting that on
the resume for a job application. On Usenet it just
amounts to petty lying. Is that your position? That
you inflated your credentials for Usenet purposes,
and merely engaged in a petty lie in this forum?
