Joseph Poon didn't invent extension blocks; I think you're thinking of Joseph Lau?

No, I meant Joseph Poon. He created the most infamous version of the extension blocks proposal for the bitcoin protocol.
Although I guess I should have said "one of the people who created this proposal", as there were multiple authors. chjj also deserves much of the credit. I only referenced Joseph specifically, because of the lightning network thing, which core supporters seem to like a lot.
