[IP] 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.
