I just experimented with editing a diary entry from an earlier date to see if it retained the older date or gave it the current date. Well the answer is, "It gave it the current date." So, paragraphs below this one are from yesterday. Also, my thanks go to ingvar for leading me to enlightenment about "deities" in general and the dangers of the influence of Eris in particular.

I noticed that linus and esr have joined Advogato today. From the given notes, I'm unsure that these are who they say they are. Will someone remind me how we know?

Edited. I just noticed that whoever signed up as linus has changed their name from "The Linus" to "Linus T." This signals to me that this is someone who needs to be rated as "Dimwit". Remember, as I understand it, that someone rated as "Dimwit" can post comments. So If this guy posts some obnoxious comment, I will quickly remove this elevated certification. However, if it really turns out to be "The Linus T." , then I can proudly say I certified him as "Dimwit." (Besides, I sort of wanted to see what a "yellow" ranking looked like ;-)
