Let's split up and look for clues

I tried something in a similar way of thinking as Bandit, but it didn't work too.

I actually watched a TV programme about Richard Feynman a few hours ago, but nothing really springs to mind. I wish this contest had been a few months ago, back when I was unemployed. =P

Is the mod's name or the quote source more important? Because sun wukong is a monkey King and I can't think of any connection to Feynman or to the series

Okay, the quote as you know will lead you to the answer. The moderator connection is more of a confirmation for the solution as the last few moderator names have been. Basically when you get the correct answer, the moderator will justify that.

Excuse me my puzz was awesome.

Willis got it.

The quote was from Richard Feynman (my favourite physicist) and the answer was Richard Wright, one of the VFD door passwords in TPP. The moderator name related to it because 'Native son' was the book from which Wright's password was in asoue.

You could've got the answer by googling 'Richard in asoue' and it would've been like the third result I think.
