But if BUK claims that sundial stopped because of him
No, he claimed that he saw through SunnyD before anyone else. I agree with that claim.
As a long time student of the fascinating SunnyD-Buk relationship, I'd say that SunnyD certainly did not stop coming here because of Buk --
on the contrary, SunnyD adored the attention so lovingly lavished on him by his "esteemed colleague" Buk, as indicated below:
- Re: Perl/Tk code structure: "Agreeing fully with BrowserUK's previous comments on this"
- Re: What's Wrong with program: "such ideas having already been given to you, and in great detail by experts such as BrowserUK"

- Re^4: Threads and signals in Windows (invoking the name): "My response to you has been to commend your responses and to up-vote a great many of them. I have never down-voted a single one"
- Re: Does the main thread yield?: "as BrowserUK's elegant code example does by blocking the sender while the queue is too-large. (I really do think that you should put this little jewel into CPAN anyway, even if it uses an undocumented feature.)"

- Re: Perl seg fault while joining threads: "BrowserUK, you’ve had plenty of experience with both Perl threads and libraries. In your experience, does this Perl-specific COW behavior typically cause grief in cases like this one?

You really miss him... ;)

I haven't seen such a claim, if you could link to this maybe? I've seen and heard (in person) a lot of arguments/statements in the perl sphere that IMHO have been counterproductive.
