Can't say I'm wildly interested but where are these RFCs located?

Seeing as you top-posted, you obviously need the link!!! Read RFC1855
in particular section 3.1.1 which states "If you are sending a reply to
a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of
the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context".

So, if you want some bedtime reading (it *will* put you to sleep!), all
the RFCs are located here
