Maybe I'm wrong, but afaik A.S. was just one of Moist's "stage names". The one who has been hanged as A.S. was a nameless prisoner.

He was, but I think the page is meant in a somewhat humorus vein. And Vetinari insist the Spangler is dead and who is to argue with the Patrician? As he says "Tryant remember."
Ok, I see. This multiple-identity-busyness can be extremely confusing. Especially since most of Moist's alter egos had (have?) a life of their own. And in this way the life of A.S. was "really" ended by the gallow. So I would add at least a footnote to make clear that A.S. is a virtual person.

Re:Alfred Spangler. See Talk:Moist von Lipwig. This wiki refers to the original English publication consistently. American editors occasionally change spellings and even names, but there needs to be a standard and the original has always been preferred. Also, this sort of comment belongs in the discussion section. --Old Dickens 01:24, 4 November 2007 (CET)
