 '''Izchak Miller''' was a Professor of Philosophy who taught at MIT and Stanford, amongst other places, and was employed at Xerox PARC for a while.

He was, in fact, one of the founding members of the DevTeam, and was instrumental in synchronizing and arbitrating the team for a long time, up until the release of [[NetHack 3.1.3|version 3.1.3]]. He personally wrote much of the [[shopkeeper]] code, as well as major contributions to [[prayer]], [[alignment|alignments]], and the [[NetHack 3.1.0|version 3.1]] rewrite of [[Gehennom]].

It is considered very poor form to mistreat this particular shopkeeper, despite the extent to which his co-workers are maligned by everyone.
