Re: Bjarne Stroustrup on Perl

Please note that it is fairly easy to fake an address on Usenet. I think it unlikely that Bjarne Stroustrup would spell awesome incorrectly, or post a note that was so short :)

...Not to mention, by googling for recent Usenet posts by Bjarne Stroustrup, one can see that he always posts with a signature line, and never signs his messages "B". Still, it's rather clever. I'm not sure whether the person who posted it was trying to make a tongue-in-cheek statement about what Perl has, or what C has had for awhile, but it's worthy of a grin. Dave	[reply]

And, by analyzing the headers of the fake and other messages by Stroustrup you may notice an important difference: The fake message was `Posted via Supernews, http://www.supernews.com`, Stroustrup's other messages were posted via `http://groups.google.com`. /me goes away doing more important things...
