You sure? I mean it could as easily as not been someone spoofing him, what with the various anonymous mails, etc., that you reported.
It is a blatant obviousity.

It is not at all obvious. You seem to be under the illusion that an ascii art image is some kind of digital signature.
You seem to think people couldn't share a digital signature.
Traffic analysis simply means convincing one or more people that it's the same person...
Doesn't prove anything.
Sure it does, I've proven that with PSI. Guess what happens if those people are a jury?
Here to make the point, I'll use one of your magic digital signature ascii arts which somehow proves incontrovertably that the post was made by Dimitri.
I can see that one flew over your head, and pooped on you. ---guy
