Re^3: Curious: are anon-hashes in random order?

*the was, belatedly, some attempt to add a choice of different hashing algorithms to the mix; but these proved pointless overkill and pragmatically too inefficient; and fell into immediate disuse. If they are still needlessly cluttering the codebase -- I haven't looked lately -- it is simply because no one has got around to removing them

The above can be attributed to BrowserUk, and I was hoping to register the fact that I (syphilis) had given his view a ++ (and would have given even more upvotes if such were possible).
However, when I preview my post, I find that it is being attributed to gods.
What is going on ? (A "god" is the last fucking thing I would want to be ;-)

Cheers,
Rob

Hi syphilis, I noticed that in the last two weeks several people seem to have confused gods for the poster of the node, while a quick super search appears to show that it didn't happen before then: Re^6: CGI Perl output cut with xampp Re^2: Help to monitor a PID Re^2: RegExp: words excepstions list similar to characters' one. Super Search: gods I'm not sure why this is happening now... Regards, -- Hauke D	[reply]

However, when I preview my post, I find that it is being attributed to gods. It seems, though I never noticed it before, so it may be a recent change, that all previews are attributed to "gods", until you commit them. It makes some sense in that if you choose to abandon a preview, it will be discarded, so not connecting it to a particular account before that point might save some DB fiddling. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :) In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
