Is there any reason why you not only did not attribute the quote but
snipped the attribution which was already there?

Also, since you quoted my .sig: please note the line consisting of "-- "
at the beginning of it. That is a standard .sig delimiter, and is
treated specially by many mail programs; although it's not essential, it
would be considered polite to put your own .sig behind one as well.

Ah, well. It was still a thought.

Only those last two seem likely to be relevant. The fact that they're
there is a good thing, but it does look like another dead end.

Nope.

There are enough "Wanderer"s around the Internet that I've had to come
up with quite a variety of fallback names to use where my own is already
taken. I'm known in various places as Identity, InverseParadox, Alias
Bongo, and Catholic Bear - that last being a roughly triple-layered
reference, which very few people are likely to get without explanation.
