Re^4: How to use the -T file op as a one-liner (kcott's relatives at Perl Monks)

For a moment I thought kcott was using a pseudonym and talking to himself...

Ha ha, after spending way too much time recently studying Perl Monks early history, my first reaction was that kwolcott was an alter ego of kcott! ... was this another erzuuli prank? :)

Update: Just noticed clscott from Ottawa Canada. Another alter ego? Perhaps Ken's brother Clayton? :)

Update (Feb 2024): Ken's brother David has just joined Perl Monks: dcscott

Though strictly against site rules today, it was surprisingly common for early Perl Monk developers to use alter egos for testing. The first six meditations (node ids: 484-489), for example, are all owned by Master Aalnan, an alter ego of nate, the guy who wrote the Everything web system.

Though strictly against site rules today, it was surprisingly common for early Perl Monk developers to use alter egos for testing Most of the systems I have written and/or manage have an account for Boomer, the office hound. He has his own email address and is good at proof reading emails as well as testing how features work on accounts with non-admin privileges...	[reply]
