   Henry Spencer was a name I found cropping up frequently back in the heyday   
   of Usenet. He has contributed to a number of open-source projects, too.   
      
   With all this talk of CompSci people being associated with electrical/

   Spencer was employed?   
      
   The Zoology department, University of Toronto.
