Two days, two people have asked if I am the original author of bloat. I am not the original author of bloat. That is @r . I have written some stuff that went upstream, and I maintain FSE's accidental fork. (The divergence is due to laziness, not any sort of fundamental disagreement.) Upstream is noted in the repo description at https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=bloat , upstream is at https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat . The FSE version at bloat.freespeechextremist.com notes this on the login page: https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=bloat;a=blobdiff;f=templates/signin.tmpl;h=2079d21aad7d447d2d26d722f095b70afa882899;hp=9711c8b66f9c2a72a08ec2bbb387a9fcd0f1d530;hb=24d888d1a4e751eedadfe624634f11eabdbec7d7;hpb=61020d8837745f4b1632bd31e54017abeff7862a .
I think the reason people think I wrote bloat is that I just really like bloat and I think I might like bloat more than @r@freesoftwareextremist does, because I cannot imagine a person liking bloat more than I like bloat. Both of the people asking had asked in DMs; usually it is a public thread, the periodic reminder can just be in there and people will see it, but this time it was in DMs. (As a bonus, in a completely different DM thread, I was also confused with @r , and that is flattering.)
