He's quite a guy... lot's of complaints about him. What I remember (but cannot
find the exact quote) is him writing "I have not seen an implementation of
[TCP/IP] sockets that did not make me angry or sick."
At the time, having surveyed various sockets libraries, I pretty much agreed.
They totally didn't get the idea that the socket structures have a lot of
flexibility built in, so they'd make "classes" for each variety of socket and
IP address. But that was loooonnnnnnnnnnnng ago.
