An historic URL

2001-03-08 00:20:02
I found one interesting prehistoric URL expression 
at the last page of RFC 826. It says,

...(thanks to MOON(_at_)SCRC@MIT-MC).

That RFC was written in 19 years ago and I don't know
what was going on in ARPANET at that time.

That old expression shows some interesing points.

A. It has muliple "@" symbols.
B. All letters are capital.
C. It doesn't include any dots.

Interesting. Could some archaeologists please explain 
this hieroglyph ? BTW, where and when the current version
of URL was defined ?

Thanks for your great info.
Regards,

Jiwoong
