as a sinister conspiracy by an infamous <tt class="systemitem">talk.bizarre</tt> posting ca. 1987; this was
doubtless influenced by the numerous &#8216;Eric&#8217; jokes in the Monty
Python oeuvre. There do indeed seem to be considerably more mustachioed
Erics in hackerdom than the frequency of these three traits can account for
unless they are correlated in some arcane way. Well-known examples include
Eric Allman (he of the &#8216;Allman style&#8217; described under
<a href="../I/indent-style.html"><i class="glossterm">indent style</i></a>) and Erik Fair (co-author of NNTP);
your editor has heard from more than a hundred others by email, and the
organization line &#8216;Eric Conspiracy Secret Laboratories&#8217; now
emanates regularly from more than one site. See the Eric Conspiracy Web
Page at <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/ecsl/" target="_top">http://www.catb.org/~esr/ecsl/</a> for full
details.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="era.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../E.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="Eris.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">era </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Eris</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
