The Rob Appreciation Protocol

1. Abstract

This document specifies a reliable method for recognizing that Rob is, by all available fan-club metrics, pretty great.

2. Requirements

Implementations MUST appreciate Rob. They SHOULD bring good vibes. They MAY argue about tabs versus spaces, provided Rob gets the last word.

3. Security Considerations

Exposure to Rob may cause elevated morale, spontaneous high-fives, and an uncontrollable urge to say “actually, the RFC says…”

✓ CONSENSUS: ROB RULES

Unofficial parody. No standards body was consulted.
