Talk:Joybubbles/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just read the August 20, 2007 NY Times article "Joybubbles, 58, Peter Pan of Phone Hackers, Dies" http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/20/us/20engressia.html?bl&ex=1188273600&en=01786be50ed94ae7&ei=5087%0A

In this article, although it mentioned his tenure at the University of South Florida, it doesn't mention his receiving a degree in any dicipline, whereas the Wiki article mentions him earning a degree.

The NY Times article also references two reasons for him changing his name, one being his mother "pushing him to live up to his 172 IQ" and the other his "being abused at a school for the blind". When I read the latter, I (naively?) took it to mean "taunts", etc. The NY Times doesn't clarify - I just wanted to point out the discrepancy due to either the deliberate ommission of info on their part, or an error on Wiki's. Thank you!
