I hope you guys don't think I was doing it intentionally. I use my own
mail server and I just create separate email accounts for different
projects. I just simply logged in (way back when) and never bothered going
to "Options" to set my name. It was neglect, not secrecy.

Yes it was. What do you think: My impression was that the corporate side
(with a few exceptions) was, while very professional and flashy, lacking
in technical merit. SGI was one of the few exceptions, of course. The
".org" side was really fun, lots of guys with interesting projects, messy
booths, and grundgy cloths. Has the soul left Linux? Has it been consumed
by the big corporations?
