If you do a google for your email address you will see that it generates four 
entries:

1) www.student.kuleuven.ac.be/~m9716348/mop/assignment-part2.pdf
2) www.demuynck.org/feature/mop/task2.html
3) www.demuynck.org/feature/mop/task1.html
4) www.eng.kuleuven.ac.be/phd-symposium/book_of_abstracts.pdf

This mailing list also appears in the comp.lang.ruby newsgroup as does your 
email address on the messages you posted.

Then again it might be one of us - just not neccessarily so.
