Original RFC editor.  Invented Perl, among other things.  Co-designed DNS
(did I get that right?)  I personally always label layers 8, 9, and 10
as money, management and inside counsel, but I know views differ.  I don't 
RTFM, I google.  It's often faster, so many of TFMs are online now.

And this... is NANOG!

What's my starting rate?  :-)
