That's a different issue, and in fact it's irrelevant.  Whether owl was 
replying to a post directed to him or to someone else, he recognized his 
name even though it was spelled Owl (a case change in one letter).

owl: "There's no 'O' in my name."

A case-sensitive filesystem wouldn't recognize it at all, but a 
case-insensitive filesystem would.

Clear and huge self-nuke, because owl was ranting (not to mention lying) 
about needing a case-sensitive filesystem.

Too bad it was inadvertent on Snit's part; epic pwnage is better than 
epic self-nuke.

That came later.

Wrong.  And you're self-nuking by siding with the nukee.
