Yes. Having worked at Yahoo, this isn't even a bit surprising. rtm's capitalization of 'filo' as 'Filo' -- everybody spelled it lowercase i.e., as an /etc/passwd entry not a lastname -- is the surprising part.

Regardless of what you think of Yahoo's current situation, somebody who could easily retire wealthy but still hacks and flies economy class on Southwest to meetings in remote offices is worthy of respect.
