        It’s right here on the guy’s Wikipedia page, you’d think they’d at least Google him

          Are… Are you joking?

          Google wasn’t around back then.

          They would have had to use something like infoseek or aliweb

          SMH my head, people just don’t know their history

            It’s not like the web was around back then either ya doofus, what year do you think we’re talking about here?

            Back in those times the would have been at best using something like Veronica, or just trawling Usenet asking if people know him
