Insight from the outside....
 
One of the most common reasons to fake one's return address is to
send/post SPAM, hence the reason why people get upset easily when someone
doesn't use their true address. When it comes to email, some ISP's won't
even accept your mail anymore unless your domain can be validated.  Plus,
using a false (or nickname) display name is a LOT different than using a
fake return address.
 
Even so, if they were experimenting, that's what test groups are for :).
 
P.S. How's the weather down there in Miami?  *grin*
