top: eliminate 2 author sections from the man document

We'll follow Craig's lead and whack some author stuff.

[ and we'll honor the SEE ALSO guideline for periods ]
[ but essentially ignore all the other busybody crap ]
[ which, to be honest, we pretty much follow already ]

[ actually, if you're told to follow a certain style ]
[ in program examples, you've gone way past busybody ]
[ crap and have entered the realm of anal retentive! ]
