___ Dave Farber +1 412 726 9889 ...... Forwarded Message ....... From: Joe Touch <touch@xxxxxxx> To: Dave Farber <dave@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 13:59:51 -0700 Subj: Re: Fwd: RE: [IP] more on letter from Jon Postel FWIW, we identify that Jon has passed and who we are in the email. We generally send the mail from our own account, and CC Jon's to archive the response. However, getting mail from a user account is not the same as getting mail from a person. Anyone who makes that error deserves the confusion that results. Joe Dave Farber wrote: > ___ > > Dave Farber +1 412 726 9889 > > > > ......
