There are perhaps only a handful of kernel developers that:

1. would know the above

2. would choose such an obnoxious throwaway handle

I believe there are a lot more of your 2nd point than you might think.

Good point; in that case I may have undercounted! :P

That said, most Aussie kernel devs I know are IBM PPC Ozlabs folks that are actually really nice!
