-Shrugs- I wouldn't say it was founded as such but anyway. He may have been important but that doesn't necessarily mean everyone knows him. I've read through your history and such but then it's just random names, I have no connection to the person so unless they show up often I'm going to forget. I, and a large number of other furs, joined long after the fandom had begun so we have no idea who the early furs were. I've had no contact with any of his works and, judging by the Wikifur article, he isn't on SoFurry, FurAffinity or Inkbunny so I never would've had an opportunity to see them. Don't forget there's no history test to join the fandom, nor do people often care. People join because they like anthropomorphic characters, that doesn't mean they know who started it all.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
