Yes, of course, the original post was from me. I really didn't think that anyone would ever think anything different.

But it wasn't done to gain XP or abuse the system. I'm genuinely surprised that I've got so many ++ votes from it.

What happened was, we were discussing silly Perl modules in the CB and I pointed out Pony.pm. Someone said something along the lines of "Well I'll know what to say if anyone points in SOPW asking how to encrypt their code into the word 'buffy' in the shape of a pony". I considered it too good an opportunity to miss and posted just that as an AM.

It certainly wasn't intended as an "abuse of the system". It was just a silly joke. Looks to me like you need to find yourself a new sense of humour.
