    Apparently so, but not to me. ;)

    So I have been told, and that would explain why I had never heard of him until someone used that alias to muck about on paulie's BBS. ;)

    He was very good at social engineering, but he wasn't a particularly technical person.

    When Shimomura or whoever it was released the realtime captures of Kevin's sessions in his systems, there were SOO MANY typos and bad commands and stumbling around like an idiot. That's when I knew for sure :).

    Yup. That was Tsutomu Shimomura.
