Michael is a very smart man with a great sense of language,
sophisticated knowledge of computer science, but he was totally
ignorant of Plan 9. That fact allowed him to record what he was
learning. As time went by he was quickly loosing a sense of what he
needed to know, becoming instead more knowledgeable of Plan 9. You
and I can't expand his paper. We know too much. We should let
Michael own the paper.
