Yep, that's our John Haugh.  Any wonder, with coding habits like that,
that he needs and is promoting the return of comp.unix.wizards, so he
can have an audience unskilled enough to think of him as a real programmer?

The scary thing is that he earns his living as a coding consultant, when
he's not busy libeling people on the net or making a fool of himself all
over the place.

Kent, the man from xanth.
