OK, Randy, you peaked my interest: what is a naggumite?

Many of us disagreed with Jon Postel from time to time, but he
usually understood the alternative points of view.

I fondly recall that Erik could be quite acerbic, as I think is
well exemplified by this:

   "If I had to deal with you professionally, I would have told you
   to hold the onions and give me large fries."   - Erik Naggum

Unfortunately, I don't recall to whom he said that; I suppose I am
lucky that it wasn't me.
