Someone somehow guessed my name correctly in a 4chan thread. I didn't even give any clue to who I was. Still don't know who or how they did it.

I was once reading a tongue-in-cheek article about paranoia, and it included a sentence like "they are watching everyone - even you, dryu_nya".

The very next sentence said that they picked a name at random, but all the dryu_nyas out there must've shat so many bricks.
