2. Robert T. Morris Jr.

The perpetrator of the great Internet worm of 1988 (see {Great
Worm}); villain to many, naive hacker gone wrong to a few.
Morris claimed that the worm that brought the Internet to its
knees was a benign experiment that got out of control as the
result of a coding error. After the storm of negative
publicity that followed this blunder, Morris's user name on ITS
was hacked from RTM to {RTFM}.
