What is a reply spoof?

Before (when the reply text wasn't indented as it is today) you could, within your own reply, fake a reply from someone else. Sort of like this:

Start of your post
A fake post
The rest of your post

Now it would look like this:

Start of your post
       A fake post
The rest of your post

.. and thus be easier to spot.

OH! Is that why sometimes I'd see a quote (italicized) that was not to be found anywhere else on the page? That always through me for a loop! I couldn't understand why the person was arguing with a point that was never made! Do I understand now? :-)

Oh, brother! I just reread your post and I can tell them I'm still confused. I guess it sounds like you're saying people have been able to fake complete replies from others. I didn't realize people were doing that! Do you have any examples for me?

People were drawing up fake replies complete with time codes and reply numbers and Find in Forum links? Really? I missed that.

Oh. I guess the only place I've seen that was in the "parody" threads like the one about everyone falling down and worshipping Bush.
