RFC 1149 was the first humorous RFC I read and probably the first RFC I read. It
was definitely accessible for me as a Layer 1 and 2 IETF outsider. Humorous RFCs can be a nice introduction to the structure of RFCs. Pat From: ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx [mailto:ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Melinda Shore Doesn't it strike you as odd that this discussion has moved towards some sort of tacit/accepted acknowledgment of the role of joke RFCs as insider/outsider cultural markers rather than just clever bits of writing that are widely enjoyed? I'm a little surprised
to find myself developing sympathy for tiresome humorless whiny people. (Wait, no I'm not). Anyway this strikes me as an unfortunate use of those documents. Melinda |
