n. A shadowy group of mustachioed hackers named Eric first pinpointed as a
|
|
|
|
|
sinister conspiracy by an infamous talk.bizarre posting ca. 1987; this was
|
|
|
|
|
doubtless influenced by the numerous Eric 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 Allman style described under indent style ) and Erik Fair (co-author

of NNTP).
