I noticed it. I also noticed him mentioned in the brief history written
by Vinton Cerf. But his name had been completely erased from my memory.
"Leonard Kleinrock." It just doesn't stick. I'm sure I'll forget him
again.

Pretty good. There was actually quite a bit of poetry in the early RFC's.
I'm sure the history of the internet will be one of the best documented
histories, and probably the most fun to read :-)
