more on letter from Jon Postel

Dave,

FYI, Jon's email is still valid and maintained here at ISI for a number 
of reasons. Receiving email from his address - i.e., non-spam - is not 
uncommon. We still receive requests directed to his address as 
indicated in many Internet documents, as well as others (most recently 
to clarify the IPv6 ethertype field).

I and others at ISI handle these requests, which might otherwise be 
difficult for users to redirect on their own.

Getting mail from Jon doesn't necessarily mean something's amiss 
(unless of course it's spam). And checking that email addresses are 
valid won't filter out email from his address either.
