Don't believe them.
At linux.conf.au in Dunedin in 2006, Rusty Russell started a
fundraiser for the John Lions chair of computer science at UNSW. By
way of encouragement, he stated that if there were enough
contributions, he would shave off his moustache. A number of us
joined in (David Miller, Jeff Waugh and myself, but explicitly not Jon
Hall), and he ended up raising $10,000. So the next day we were
shaved. I was horrified: suddenly I looked like the old man that I
was. The beard had greyed over the years, but it had hidden the
change in my face. I let the beard grow again, and haven't seen my
chin since.
