    Two specifications were created for the #fingerProtocol:

    #IETF #RFC742 (published in 1977)
    #IETF #RFC1288 (published in 1991)

    Neither of them were about creating the finger-protocol.

    The finger-protocol existed and was evolving AT LEAST 6 YEARS BEFORE the IETF RFC-742 specification was written!
