Sorry Leonard, but it looks like you're no longer second-to-last.
Pissed?

Well, I guess I'll have to be in the CREDITS, as I pointed out something
so vital to the survival of Linux. Hackers schmackers, it's the editors
that get things done! ;)

I doubt it, since he died in a helicopter crash in Alaska a couple
of years ago.  However, it seems to be OK with most of us that

one writes inadequate emails like the parent.
