RFC 2050 was written by Kim Hubbard, David Conrad and others when they were under fire for their corrupt activities. At the time, Jon Postel was like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. He issued dis-connected un-inforned platitudes such as, "People can not be corrupt because they are working for the community". Writing an RFC is a common way The Society (The Community) justifies their bizarre actions. It is like the KKK writing a document describing how they need white hoods to protect their identity, as IF it is they who need protection. Brass it out is the mantra. The best defense has always been a good offense. Write it and they will believe it to be law.
