No question, I just want to thank you for being the type of person that would do this and thank you again for actually doing it. The world is a fun place. I like it.
I am interested in writing a real RFC, what kind of mailing list etc should I join in order to make my RFC real?

How do I know the government isn't spying on me, cuz they could totally go and compromise all root certificates, thus RIP https.
Oh, and pardon, who the heck does still use http without the s?

What would be a current version of this April Fool - what technology would you create a standard for, what beverage would you interface it to?
The motivation for HTCPCP-TEA was that HTCPCP didn't cover tea brewing. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any infused hot drinks that aren't coffee or a tea of some kind...
Perhaps we need a homebrew beer request standard. The response lag would be tremendous though.
What code should be used if we are expecting something to be a teapot? In this scenario it seems a 4XX is inappropriate because there is no error

What are some of your favorite accounts to follow on mastodon?
Also, will your talk be recorded?
My following list; of note is Lisa Melton, whose bio says "Follow me and I'll fill your timeline with boosts". She ain't lying.
Looks like some of the talks from last year were released on the conference's YouTube, so: hard to say if the recording will be available. I'll (see if I can) remember to ask on the day.
Did you author any other standards and how high is the chance of a proposal being approved if you don't have any accepted proposal yet?
7168 is my only foray into writing an Internet Standard RFC. If you have a good idea for one, you should definitely get in touch with the RFC Editors; I found them very approachable and willing to work with my idea, moulding it into a document that's compliant to their (admittedly old-timey 60's) documentation standards.
I can't say enough how amazing your explanation was. Im not a programmer but I have worked on websites (self taught) and I never knew this. Thank you!
