"After that, Shimomura took it on himself to track Mitnick down."
I remember it now. Shimorua was intense, very impressive.
Indeed...often descending into being imperious. He doesn't suffer fools lightly (and I'm completely on board with that), but he can be unnecessarily brusque with people who know what they're doing but don't do things Shimmy's way. Ah well...to each their own.
