[TUHS] Working e-mail for Henry Spencer?

[Warren Toomey]

Does anybody have a working e-mail address for Henry Spencer? I've
tried his "zoo.utoronto..." address but the box is refusing SMTP
connections (from me, at least). Alternatively, could someone e-mail
him and see if he would be interested in joining the TUHS list?

And ditto for any other old Unix users!

Cheers, Warren

There is a Henry Spencer <henry at spsystems.net>, who about a year ago
or so posted to the IETF TLS list and posted to comp.compilers a
decade ago.  When I saw the name, I wondered if it was Henry at zoo but I
did not enquire.  I never met Henry, despite walking past Zoo almost
daily when I was a grad student.  As such, any email from an unknown
like me may be discarded.

Sounds like Henry Utzoo; many yonks ago, I actually met him at a private 
party (you had to quote one of his signatures from sci.space etc).

Long story.

I think my pass-phrase was "SUN-ish: requiring 32-bit bug numbers" or 
something.

Great party; I don't remember most of it :-)

Like at-parties (now _there's_ an obsolete concept).

Did it count if you knew enough to call him Sandor?  (Or if you knew enough
to _not_ call him Sandor?)

That's the truth, I was there and can assure you that 16 bits were not enough :)

And despite your recent declaration of love of all things Australian,
also not the late great VFL player Norm Wilson.  He made it to
Wikipedia, while you didn't.  That must say something about Wikipedia.

I believe that's The Henry Spencer, all right.  SP Systems is what
called (perhaps still does) himself when consulting.

I've already dug up and sent Warren another contact address for Henry,
gleaned from a mutual friend.
