[LM_NET] 21st Century Standards!?

[Thomas Kaun <tomkaun@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi, Bernard.
It's interesting that when the current standards document was being
developed I suggested that we not use the term "21st century," especially
since we update standards on average of about every ten years. What will the
next set of standards be called? Standards for the Second Quarter of the
21st Century? I'll admit I had nothing spectacular to offer as a substitute
title but I could see that the current moniker would be out of date very
soon.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day,
something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else
would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of
unanimity.
