Is "from that author" some sort of passive aggressive jab at djb?


Nope. Quite the contrary. I was trying to avoid bringing the strange sentiment to which you are referring to the fore. Mere mention of those initials causes an adverse reaction in a lot of developers and admins. I voluntarily use his software every day. Not perfect (nothing is) but the best there is available. I find his code to be wonderfully lucid if I read it slowly and carefully. My opinion.


I also have a lot of respect for djb. That is why I thought it was strange you did not use his name when you were clearly well acquainted with who the author of netstrings and curvecp is.
