When I uploaded the figure on which this one is based, I wrote:

Ten lines and ten points, so arranged that each of the ten lines passes through three of the ten points and each of the ten points lies on three of the ten lines, but nonetheless this projective configuration is not incidence-isomorphic to the Desargues configuration. This was pseudonymously described in a posting to a yahoogroups forum; I don't know the name of the poster.

Now I am informed in yet another forum by someone posting under the name "Jonathan" as follows:

Not that it's of vital importance, but the name of the poster is Jonathan Smith (who, although his real name sounds pseudonymous enough, nevertheless posted to the yahoogroup forum under the pseudonym of Keyser Soze).
