As I recall the story: He was (wrongly) declared dead. Obituaries were run. This did not make him happy, as he was still very much breathing. He noted that his chemistry history, and the resulting obituary announcements, focused on his contributions to war, not peace. That being said, I'd spread the award among Linus, RMS, and Jimbo Wales, for creating/enabling their globally used tools, and sites, that transcend culture, people, politics, and nations. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
