But he doesn't hold a candle to Jon Postel or Vint Cerf or even John Perry Barlow. He's another greedhead who got caught doing what he clearly did not want others to see him doing. He didn't even have the honor to get ahead of things; he tried to hang on until after he made the news. That's an accomplishment he'll be remembered for.
