Uh, this article really *was* written by drobbins some time ago. It's 
okay. It's all perfectly legal; in fact, check out 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/

I and some other folks GuideXMLified the original developerWorks 
articles and republished them on gentoo.org with permission.

Example for the URL you posted: 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/l-awk1.xml

However, everything else drobbins wrote can be found in 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/, as can several other articles 
written by Gentoo folks over the years.

No need for the alarm, folks. Simmahdownah.
