#IETF #RFC742 was written to document the existing #fingerProtocol , as it was (implicitly) defined by software.
I.e., finger had been around and was evolving AT LEAST 6 years before RFC-742 was published.

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!
