Why the fuck this isn't on the front page will haunt me until I meet him again and ask, on the yonder side.
I didn't know until I read your comment.

Has it even been posted? I would but I can't find a good source.

I've only seen a single-sentence post on the cryptography mailing list by someone I don't know. (I think the news is true, but it's not the clearest source!)

What source can you find for John Young? Except for one extremely dubious blogspam link I can't find anything confirming this.
