Let me say a few words about David Tilbrook.
Unlike the author of that very nice linked article below I knew David

Tom,
I think it’s fair to defend good and decent ideas on NANOG.
In my opinion, it’s a good and decent idea that we spend a tiny amount of
bandwidth acknowledging Internet pioneers and helping them as they encounter
unexpected adversity. Jim’s posting of Ed Hew’s GoFundMe is just such a good

Bill,
So, we can only mention in this forum the actual death of Internet pioneers,
such as Mark Crispin, Jon Postel, and Jeanette Symons?
