And frankly, if there's disrespect to be found here, IMO it lies in
using this sad event as a proxy to criticize some IETF work some
people apparently don't like.
So how many people here actually knew or worked with John... or what he
was working on? its a relevant question because there seem to be a

around in the 1960's and 1970's at AI (either MIT or SU)?
I bring this up as TOG@xxxxxxxx...
