The above message is purely for the person above's information. I have no way of contacting them off this noticeboard, so I wrote a private message to them about that as a reply, and marked it as such with the words "For your information". As far as it being someone's fault, the profile on news.ycombinator.com is editable, so he or she could edit it as they please. What a nuisance it is to continually have to deal with people who misinterpret what other people have written.
