Hi, all,

Sorry for the non-IH intrusion, but since this list has a number of 
people who worked with Jon and is hosted on a site named in his honor, 
I'm asking for your help with the following:

----

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
