Aha. I thought that was him. I found his SourceForge account. > > bo = bo <bo> > > Bo Thorsen <[email protected]> Oh, thank you. I had *no* idea how I was going to pin down that one.

The important thing is to preserve as good odds as possible that fuure data mining will be able to recognize when different name/address pairs with the same name-among-humans refer to the same person. The remaining list is pretty short: bson = bson <bson> cks = cks <cks> click = click <click> dennisg = dennisg <dennisg> erik = erik <erik> fp = fp <fp> friedman = friedman <friedman> fx = fx <fx> hassey = hassey <hassey> jrv = jrv <jrv> jtw = jtw <jtw> karl = karl <karl> moore = moore <moore> rolfh = rolfh <rolfh> root = root <root> thomas = thomas <thomas> wood = wood <wood> -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
