Re: a favor from the list about Jon Postel

I don't think it helps the case against this page to have "Likes" by
W3C, Tim Berners-Lee, Vint Cerf, ARIN and ICANN ... of course,
there is no reason for me to know that those aren't frauds as well.

Hi, all,

My apologies for contacting this list with a non-IETF issue, but since this
community knew Jon well, I'm asking for its help (among others).

There is a Facebook page that falsely implies being owned by Jon Postel:

https://www.facebook.com/jon.postel

Facebook has declined requests from Jon's family to have this page removed.

To everyone on this list:

PLEASE do not "LIKE" or interact with this page. Jon passed in 1998, as you
know, 5 years before Facebook ever existed. He never had a page on this or any
other social networking site, and whomever is running this should stop
misrepresenting themselves.

If anyone here can help, please let me know.

Joe
