That was my first impression but if it's a forgery, it's much better than the run-of-the-mill forgeries around: All the headers tally and suggest it was posted from hub - which means that it's either genuine or an inside job.
Oh, it was a fine rant, either way-- a first-class job, even. :-)
I wasn't motivated enough to compare the headers versus other postings, or to check whether the IP that claimed to be "hub.freebsd.org" actually is-- if you control reverse DNS for some netblock, you can make any box claim to be a certain hostname.
[I also get called by my surname but haven't quite reached the level of aggravation suggested by the initial posting].
Seriously, if you received a message saying "Dear Jeremy", would you:
(a) not really care, (b) be annoyed, and tell the guy, "call me Ishmael", or some such [1], or (c) cross-post flamebait between freebsd-current and -stable...?
I just not really care about it. "Dear Nguyen" or "Dear Chinh" make no difference. The most important is the word "DEAR"! :) Please take it easy.

Sorry, I'm too sober to remember any AoD quotes, and my RealJob(tm) has a rule that says that we shouldn't drink before lunch.
