Aha. I thought that was him. I found his SourceForge account.

Oh, thank you. I had *no* idea how I was going to pin down that one. It's
a unpromising string for web searches.

I pretty much knew these two guys went with these two names, but couldn't
figure out which was which. Thanks.

That's OK. Addresses will go stale. The important thing is to
preserve as good odds as possible that fuure data mining will be able
to recognize when different name/address pairs with the same
name-among-humans refer to the same person.
The remaining list is pretty short:
bson = bson <bson>
cks = cks <cks>
click = click <click>
dennisg = dennisg <dennisg>
erik = erik <erik>
fp = fp <fp>
friedman = friedman <friedman>
fx = fx <fx>
hassey = hassey <hassey>
jrv = jrv <jrv>
jtw = jtw <jtw>
karl = karl <karl>
moore = moore <moore>
rolfh = rolfh <rolfh>
root = root <root>
thomas = thomas <thomas>
wood = wood <wood>
