Back in 2000 at Amazon, HR somehow decided to have me do the phone
interviews for neteng.  I'd go through questions on routing and what not,
then at the end I would ask questions like, "Who was Jon Postel?  Who is
Larry Wall?  Who is Paul Vixie? What are layers 8 & 9? Explain the RTFM
protocol.  What is NANOG?"  Those answers (or long silences) told me more
about the candidate than most of the technical questions.
