To spy on the opposition, you become the opposition...

...The Fake Opposition:

Spooks want you to believe each newsgroup is a "group" of like-minded
individuals that are bound by their common desire to post messages and
have discussions with other people in their "group." They call
themselves "group-regulars," and they stick together like glue. They
claim collective ownership of the newsgroup forum as a way of
controlling it. Spooks project the illusion that a newsgroup is one
big happy family of like-minded individuals that love each other and
will gang-up on "outsiders," like Bongblaster.

Below is a message posted by Sheri, one of the "group-regulars" exposed
by Spookbusters. Sheri wants us to believe that "group-regulars" of
an arbitrary newsgroup decided to go on "group-vacation" to Mexico
where they rented a house and had a "group-drunken-gay-orgy." When
they got back to Seattle they posted pictures and articles about it in
alt.society.generation-x, unaware that Spookbusters were "grouping"
them with the spook spammers in a.d.p.c.

Sheri publicly denies she, Jason, and Wendi are government spooks:
