Suppose this could be true, but it's not what I read ... that it started with
the 4 folks in the CSRG, but began (pretty early on) getting contributions from
all over the globe.  I wouldn't want to minimize what Bill Joy did, but saying
he did it "more of less singlehandedly" seems to be an unfair exaggeration.

I guess I would say I was skeptical about giving him that much credit.  I wonder
if he would agree?  God knows, though, that what he DID do was pretty huge.
