12/5    Squish kchang now.
        \_ Fuck you.
           \_ no fuck YOU.
              \_ I see. The names do have a sort of logic to them. So, if,
                 jrleek is "moron", what will emarkp turn out to be?
        \_ uh, what did I do now? -kchang
           \_ Hi-tech namecalling
           \_ theoretically someone could get into trouble with something like:
              "Hey, your employee John Q. Loser posted about your company with
              the name 'hitler', see this link!  He will probably say something
              like yes he wrote that, but he never signed as 'hitler' and meant
              to post anonymously."
        \_ I've been playing around with it.  It doesn't seem any better
           than random chance, choosing among all non-idle people.  The names
           are cute, but I think hitler and other names should go.
        \_ It doesn't seem to change names.  This means the system has the
           same problems as before, it just adds a level of indirection.
           It won't take long for people to figure out who each other are.
           (For example, now you know my pseudonym) I think a good
           improvement would be to have the names change for every thread.
           Anyway, it's nice to have the diff back. -jrleek
           \_ I suggested he re-associate names every week but yeah.  I think
              this is a good change and am happy he decided to still log
              and host motd posts. -mrauser
           \_ What might be a genuinely interesting problem would be to set it
              up so it ignores what user was editing the motd when a given
              post was generated, and made names based solely on trying to
              analyze the content of the post.
        \_ Just to be fair to everyone, kchang decided to label everyone
           a derogatory name.
           \_ Not true.
           \_ No. To be fair, kchang has decided to rotate derogatory names
              every week so that everyone will have an opportunity to become
              any of the super villains. Thank you for playing the motd.
