Sure. I changed it. I put it there because I expected some pedant to say "She didn't write eqn, Brian did"

There is a very good non-obit by Doug McIlroy, written when Lorinda got an award in 2018. I was going to post it, but it's in a small listserv archive and I think the list members prefer not to be cited into these kinds of thing. I can't find the text elsewhere which is a shame, it has a really good rundown on her time at Bell Labs and the amazing things she did.

I guess i could cut-paste it here, but that would exceed a 10% quoting rule I try to stick to. They're Doug's words, not mine.




It'd definitely be an interesting read, could you pastebin it for us?


4 levels down a comment threat is probably deep enough it doesn't cause problems. The list archive is actually fully publicly visible:

That’s really good. Thanks again.


Hear hear!


Thank you.
