Your impression of Paul is completely wrong. He is singlehandedly
responsible for the creation of the entire rec.radio hierarchy. He
wrote the charters, solicited the calls for discussions and calls
for votes for each and every rr ng.

Oh, let's not forget Brian Kantor WB6CYT (Info-Hams administrator), Jay
Maynard K5ZC (1991 rec.radio.amateur.* reorg proponent), Ian Kluft KO6YQ
(1993 rec.radio.amateur.* reorg proponent), Mark Salyzyn AG4YD/ex-VE3MGS
(rec.radio.info proponent and moderator), Ralph Brandi
(rec.radio.shortwave proponent/FAQ maintainer and originator of the
rec.radio.* hierarchy), Rick Stealey K2XT (rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors
proponent), Richard Eckman KO4MR (rec.radio.amateur.dx proponent) and
many others, I'm sure. I've mostly felt like I've just come along for
the ride, or at best, "stood on the shoulders of giants" like Jonathan
Kamens, Tim Skirvin, Ron Dippold, et al.

It was either Paul or Brian who wrote the Usenet software that's
universally used to carry the newsgroups. (Paul, help me out
here; that seems like a century ago...)

Alas, the only software that's used regularly on Usenet that I had a
hand in was auto-faq:

Though Brian did have a big hand in the early history of the Info-Hams
mailing list, from which the amateur radio newsgroups owe their origin
via a gateway.
