Bob, Thanks for the shared memories of Jeff.
Something that might be of interest to you all along these
same lines is that Jeff was the key programmer/designer
behind the original Relay program on BITNET, which inspired
the development of IRC and the which was involved with the
development of Listserv software.
Jeff's own history of Relay is at
http://web.inter.nl.net/users/fred/relay/relhis.html
(This site has many other links about Relay.)
The use of Relay as an inspiration for IRC is documented
at http://www.the-project.org/history.html
