If someone is faking your address exactly then Google will remove
those posts or you can remove them yourself by clicking on 'More
options' above the message and click 'remove'. (This only works if the
fake address is exactly identical to your own.) HTH.

You are correct Zarbs, but in this case they are not always 100% identical.
Hulahoop mailed me today with the same problem. He couldn't understand why
in one breath Google was showing him as posting a response to a thread he
hadn't partaken in, and in the other it wasn't letting him delete it.
