Subject: OFF: Could somebody tell me how to interpet this?!

Hello all,

I realize this is somewhat offtopic, but since it involves my Ruby/Rails 
related blog, I thought I ask it here, maybe somebody can enlighten me.

I came across these links:

http://www.webdotdev.com/nvd/server-side/ruby/book-review-ruby-cookbook.html
http://www.webdotdev.com/nvd/server-side/ruby/data-extraction-for-web-2.0-screen-scraping-in-ruby/rails.html
http://www.webdotdev.com/nvd/server-side/ruby/data-extraction-for-web-2.0-screen-scraping-in-ruby/rails-episode-1.html

Those are *my* articles - here are the originals from my site:

http://www.rubyrailways.com/book-review-ruby-cookbook/
http://www.rubyrailways.com/data-extraction-for-web-20-screen-scraping-in-rubyrails
http://www.rubyrailways.com/data-extraction-for-web-20-screen-scraping-in-rubyrails-episode1/

At the top of the webdotdev.com pages, there is a photo of the 'author' 
with an 'About the Author' link. Hint: it's neither my  photo, nor is it 
about me. It also states: "Written by Phil Harrison". resp "Written by 
Satish Talim".

I hope this is just some kind of a joke, or an early attempt to play
April fools or something. Of course I am happy if someone picks up my 
articles, but not that happy if he states he wrote them...

Could please someone (e.g. Satish, if you are reading this) explain this 
to me? Maybe I just misunderstood something and this is some cool new 
web4.0 trend which everybody knows except me - if it's so, please tell 
me about it, I'd be eager to hear your opinion on this matter.

Thanks,
Peter
