The best policy, sometimes, when one sees something questionable on Wikipedia, is to point it out on the talk page, and trust that others will do the dirty work.. as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Paul_Vixie#.22Father_of_BIND.22 j On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 4:09 PM, Leo Bicknell <bicknell () ufp org> wrote:

ISC has spent some effort on properly documenting the history of BIND, and the result of that effort is located at: http://www.isc.org/software/bind/history You'll note there are two full paragraphs and a dozen folks involved before Paul had anything to do with BIND. ISC is always interested in updating the history if folks have any additional information. Feel free to e-mail me if you think you have something important to add. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
