I'm glad they included the story on his helping to add to the Usenet
archive. Henry has done a lot for Usenet and the Internet.

All that was missing was this:

NASA refers to him as just 'Henry'.
What a great id badge name that'd make! ;-)

Who in the hell would want to read old usenet messages from 1981 to
1991?

The same sorts of folks who might want to read magazines, newspapers
or books from 1981 to 1991. Historians, researchers, the curious.

Perhaps folks looking for evidence of prior art when researching a
patent.

Someone interested in seeing what Usenet once was (useful) instead of
what it is today? ;-)

Someone's already vandalized the newsgroup, though. They removed the
paragraph about his contributions to sci.space.* for no
reason. Which of the trolls around here has an IP address of
68.101.35.183?

Assuming one can infer geographic meaning to the hostname associated
with that IP:

Trying DNS
Name: ip68-101-35-183.dc.dc.cox.net
Address: 68.101.35.183

It would suggest someone in the greater Washington DC area who is a
customer of Cox.
