Re^4: OT: Why Hackers dont do well in Corporate World

Good point. I had not heard of the other Abigail.

Doing some research, I found this source for the quote, which makes it seem that it is an abigail with a delanet email. Googling for that gives me this Abigail, which suggests that it really was the other Abigail who is being referred to.

So I was clearly wrong. Live and learn.

So I was clearly wrong. It looks to me that you were right the first time - but wrong when you said you were clearly wrong ;) How's that for irony? A quick super search for posts by abigail-ii containing "foad" returns Re: Generating Regular Expressions and Re: Deobfuscation for fun and profit, which have links to foad.org/~abigail. One is a japh talk from 2001, the other is a program to generate regular expressions. Re: The quest for pure perl shows a cpan search for Regexp::Common and lists the author's email address as abigail@foad.org.	[reply]

Wait, so Abigail is www.foad.org/~abby and www.foad.org/~abigail is the _other_ Abigail? (Or is it the other way 'round?) (It must be a plot!) At least one home page has a picture, so we know which Abigail she isn't.	[reply]

The infamous Abigail you have seen among the Perl community is without a doubt male.	[reply]
