I didn't know RFC 2119 by number, but it was the first one I ever read. What was your first RFC experience?

POP, for which I implemented a client. A webapp to read your mail. In C. Awful to our modern ears, but the functionality was something of an achievement at the time.

RFC1459, the IRC one. I wrote the QuakeNet channel services once upon a time.

That was hilarious. Also kudos for paying a person instead of using AI to generate it.

This reminded me of a random HN submission. Someone was reading a terms of service agreement out loud. And I think that audio was like 20 minutes long, and only a minor joke in the background of a webpage that was an even bigger joke or parody. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Having listened now, I see what you wanted was to have David Cross read it in (almost any) one of his characters.

We can probably arrange a Cameo to achieve this!
