RE: Vote for your favorite RFC!

One
example that affected me personally was Joyce's assignment of number
2468 to the RFC written to remember Jon. I never would have thought
of that, and it was done so subtly that it didn't even ring a bell
until someone sent me an email asking whether this was a coincidence.
In analog to classical mystery stories, the editor did it.

Are they referring to the chant, "2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate"? I
can't think of any other obvious mappings.

Yet another example of why computers will never understand human speech.
