There is a mysterious "John V. Neun" who has been mentioned for years in this forum. I don't know if this is a real person or an alias.

There is an actual person named John Vielkind-Neun who usually shortens his name to JVN. He is a mechanical engineering student at Clarkson University and is on their team, #229 Division by Zero.
There was much excitment when John's father, also named John Neun began posting on the forum. He is an engineer on team #20 The Rocketeers.

Of course, the question is: we all know Dave Lavery is on the game design comittee. The name John Neun would be known to most people on the forum and many in the FIRST community. He obviously picked that name to confuse us. Was he thinking of something in particular about John Neun, and specifically which CD poster; or was he thinking about Johhny Neun the baseball player?
