I thought that he developed a whole lot of the Virtual Memory code.  A
/usr/src/ *.c search finds nothing.  A little time at groups.google.com
found thousands of Brett Glass hits but it left me suspecting that I was
wrong.  I expect that someone who knows better will speak up.

Yes, metaphorically; Kris and any FreeBSD user.  Again, I welcome a
believable correction.  I really thought that Brett was a sort of
"BSD Developer, Emeritus".

Try this one: It's not nice to flame chat-ers because they are not
willing to back up their opinions with contributed code.  That sort
of thing is better suited for -hackers.
