Just to remind, one of your posting's headers:

> X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1;

Unless you're faking headers for no obvious reasons, it looks like you're
posting through Google Groups, using MSIE as a webbrowser. Google Groups is
a website on the internet, which is an untrustworthy network. MSIE, on the
other hand, is only supposed to be used on a trusted network, otherwise it's
trivially insecure.

Thus, you seem to abusing it for something that it's clearly unsuitable for.
