You don't say... :) Perhaps because names starting with K are simply very common in Poland? ;) 1 in 6 out of 100 most popular last names starts with K.
And quite more IT employees than whom exactly? Presidents of the country? Since 1989 Poland had: Jaruzelski, Walesa, Kwasniewski, Kaczynski and Komorowski... Among prime ministers (since the 90s) about 1 in 5 had either first name or last name that begins with K :)

- V-2 12y agoWow, now that's interesting :) By the way, believe it or not, I do work as a programmer (in Poland), and my first name does indeed start with K :) Not the last name though, so I feel safe. While the serial killer theory could boil down to a statistical oddity, it reminded me of this novel by Lem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Investigation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Investigation
