[conspire] Is this list RFC69-compliant?

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Nick Moffitt (nick at zork.net):

This Mr. Bhushan had provided (via Steve Crocker) an equally
standards-compliant subscription request a year earlier, embodied in 
RFC16:


---<begin>---

Network Working Group                                    Steve Crocker
Request for Comments:  16                                27 August 1969




                                 M.I.T.

M.I.T. is now to receive all Network Working Group memos.  Memos should
be addressed to:

                         Abhai Bhushan
                         Room 807 - Project MAC
                         545 Technology Square
                         Cambridge, Mass. 02139

Abhai's phone is (617) 864-6900, X 5857.
