Is that necessarily accurate?

> "These account balances reflect only the rewards for errors reported since the beginning of 2006. Many reward checks were issued during 1968--2005, too numerous to mention here."

There's 20 years on that chart vs 37 not on it.

Also that's "account balance" rather than "the most Reward checks" which I take to mean "the most [number of] reward checks" -- there's probably a correlation, yes, but [0] shows a variety of ways where check values are non-constant.

Well, I'm #4, but it's all from TeX stuff (where I'm kind of a ringer), and not The Art Of Computer Programming. The beyond-amazing Udo Wermuth is also all TeX, I believe, and did it without having a home team advantage; everyone else high on the list looks to be strictly TAOCP.

Although that omits the paper check era.

My guess for the top slot off the top of my head was actually #4.

thanks!
