[ih] Correct name for early TCP/IP working group?

[Jack Haverty]

Thanks, Joe.  I didn't remember ISOC's specific limitations until I got 
the rejection report, which said the message was too big.   So I quickly 
converted the photo into a smaller size of 80KB, to fit well within the 
400KB constraint, and resent it.  The second try made it through the 
list server, but the image was stripped away with no indication that it 
had ever been there.  I realize you can't do anything about it and 
sympathize.

Apparently the ISOC service silently censors and alters messages as they 
pass through.   The recipients don't get what I sent.  It also breaks my 
digital signature.   I'm disappointed that ISOC, as parent of the 
Engineering arm of the Internet, doesn't use its own services as 
showcase models of "best practice" to demonstrate how to "do it right", 
as ARPA, NSF, et al did back in the early days of the Internet.
