Hi all, owner of that Feedburner link here.

I made an Octopress theme a long time ago, and it looks like someone forked/used that theme to make their own theme. Source of that specific Feedburner tag is here: https://github.com/eturk/ethan-archive/tree/55a01aaa03398a57...

Whoever first forked it probably just commented out, and then someone used that and so on.

I have to say that it's interesting that you so quickly found that a reference to your theme had made its way on to HN, and on this particular thread. Unless I am missing something obvious?

He has been using HN over 900 days, and this is on the front page -- it's quite possible he simply saw the article and comments just like you and I did.

Nope, got a tweet from @epaga: https://twitter.com/epaga/status/428182592895328256

I did see this article, I just didn't read the comments. No idea that this would be here had it not been for that tweet.

Sure it's possible. But, given that he hadn't commented or submitted on HN in 20+ days 'til now, it just seemed unlikely that he's currently actively delving into submissions/comments to the extent that he'd catch this so quickly.

So, I just found it not so much an "Aha! Busted!" moment, as much as it was noteworthy.
