Nice to someone behave so humbly for a change. He believes, probably more or less accurately, that he along with his collaborators made a minor contribution while perched high atop the shoulders of giants and disclaims accordingly the accolades he considers unwarranted if not embarrassing. I suspect if he were offered a Knighthood or some other ostentatious honor, he'd respectfully turn that down as well--unlike certain other Internet protocol "inventors"...
