Not quite. If this happens, you get a strange loop. Because you killed
your ancestor, you no longer exist. But since you no longer exist then
no one killed your ancestor, so you exist and kill your ancestor, so you
no longer exist, ad ecetera ad nauseum. Unless, of course, it were to
spawn off a alternate timeline. Oh well, time travel paradoxes are fun :)

Disclaimer

These messages were posted a long time ago on a mailing list far, far away. The copyright to their contents probably lies with the original authors of the individual messages, but since they were published in an electronic forum that anyone could subscribe to, and the logs were available to subscribers and most likely non-subscribers as well, it's felt that re-publishing them here is a kind of public service.

Thwap!
