I'm aware of the date that rfc1925 was published and the significance of 
the date, and also that rfc1925 was intended to take a humorous approach 
towards some very fundamental, recurrent themes which continue to 
present themselves in networking theory and practice.

No-one is compelled to pay attention to anything rfc1925 for this 
reason, but anyone dismissing it will do so to their own disadvantage.
