rfc1983 "Internet Users' Glossary"

Umm.. 1983? I think that's a little outdated. Really should be updated after 20
years. That goes back to the days of 2400 baud modem when bandwidth was a
concern.

rfc1983 is a document number. It was originally published in
1996, when it replace rfc1392. I assure you that rfc1392 was
not published in 1392 any more than rfc1983 was published in
1983.

You can go to google and find *thousands* of web sites
which explain signatures in detail.

No, *YOU* can. I have a life.

That's why you go around acting as a net cop when you don't
even know what RFC's are?
