Heck, I've done the opposite. There's quite a bit of code out
there which I haven't published under my real name (for various
reasons). Not any Lua stuff, though. Good luck hunting it down. ;-)

I know enough about the Internet not to do this. But you'd be
surprised for sure.

The former I can easily ignore. The latter is inexcusable. It's
not just the top-posting that makes it bad. It's the full-quote.
In Germany we call it TOFU (text oben, full-quote unten) and once
