Paul Mockapetris
Did not spend his days playing Tetris.
A more reasonable guess
Is that he put his energies towards inventing the DNS.

Possibly..

He certainly didn't spend his time with his family —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.108.60.120 (talk) 14:08, 14 November 2005‎

External link broken

http://www.softexsolutions.com/crc/webdev/internetHistory/people/index.cfm?action=paulMockapetris is broken.. can someone find another biography page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.144.165.254 (talk) 13:43, 7 September 2006‎‎

Section on Nominum

Notice how conflicted the section on Nominum is? The second paragraph is clearly written by a de facto spokesperson for the company -- and not even in a plausible way, as he refers to "Paul," etc.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.20.227.156 (talk) 16:27, 21 December 2010‎‎‎

ZDNet

As it stands today, the ZDNet comment is too cryptic, it hints at some miscommunication and brings in a highly inflammatory phrase. If this incident was a fleeting issue, and not a major element of the subject's career, then it should be removed. If it is important, can someone who knows what it was about please give it a paragraph of its own, and clarify (concisely) what the issue was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.67.175.96 (talk) 12:19, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
