Hi Branden, Thanks for pointing that out; I clearly don't know troff history in sufficient depth.
Regardless, we can hopefully agree that Plan 9 troff was written and worked on by people from Bell Labs, which was the crux of my argument. Also, I kindly request that you Cc me in your responses in the future. I am not subscribed to groff@gnu and wouldn't even notice you had responded had I not randomly checked the mailing list's archives. I forgot to mention this fact when posting. Cheers, onf
