Twenty-one years ago today, Jon Postel passed away in Santa Monica, CA. Almost all of us get to do what we do today, because of his vision, guidance, and leadership. He is one of many giants on whose shoulders we stand today (some are still active here in NANOG), but he was the compass that guided most of us. For those of you who are too young to recognize his name, or don’t realize who that " J. Postel" is at the end of all of those RFCs you look at and quote: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2468.txt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Postel https://www.internetsociety.org/grants-and-awards/postel-service-award/ten-year-tribute-jon-postel/ /rlj
