I bet the mailing cost was more than 0x$2.00 for Knuth.

I also got one for catching DEK out for claiming "Alan Turing broke the Enigma".
That claim goes to the Polish cryptoanalyst Marian Rejewski instead, of course (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Rejewski); what Alan Turing and Tommy Flowers did was automate the breaking, which was important because it had to be done again every day (due to the many combinations of configurations of the Enigma).
