AFAIK, djb isn't for many "some 3letter guy" for over about thirty years but perhaps it's just age related issue with those less been around.

AFAIK, djb isn't for many "some 3letter guy" for over about thirty years but perhaps it's just age related issue with those less been around.
Just to be clear, I mean to venerate Bernstein for earning his 3letters, not to trivialize him.
Despite the cool shit the guy has done, keep in mind that "venerate" is not the word to use here. djb is very much not a shorthand used in any positive messaging pretty much ever by any cryptographer. He did it to himself, sadly.
Sorry, can you explain what he did to himself?

Not to trivialise but being a 3 letter guy means being old. So, it's at best a celebration of achieving longevity and at worst a celebration of creaky joints and a short temper.
Most of us will have a problematic joint or two by a certain age. Almost none of us will be recognised by any name by that time.
