ESR muses on, among other things, the early IETF

Those who know Fred and knew Jon personally might want to throw an oar in the
water on this blog posting from last month...

And that's not mentioning, of course, the people who want to throw the oar
*at* ESR: I know he's a polarizing individual. :slight_smile:

not sure if it's appropriate to associate some of the prime movers of the
Internet with a cringingly self-aggrandising blog posting like that.

I -think- Jon and Fred were not contemporaries. Fred is
  closer to my age than Jon.

going back another decade, Fred and I both worked on/with bridging technologies,
  before routing was popular. Jon had us beat by at least a decade - early 1970s.
  We cme to the party in the late 70's early 80s.
