Sitaker, "blogging via IRC"
<http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-hacks/2002-November/000358.html>

I'm pretty bad at attributions when
I think the context is clear.  (In
this case, when something is from
one of the kragen-* lists.)

Partly, that's avoiding the pretty
common mistake of misattribution.

Partly, that's because I believe that
ideas can often stand independently
of who** typed them.

Partly, that's just plain laziness.

wrote about how good hippies didn't have
last names, but no matter how hard *he*
tried to be a good hippy, introductions
would always involve something like "this
is Matt, and this is Sarah, and this is
Mark Vonnegut".
