Easily amused

Have been watching YouTube videos of presentations from Open Networking Summit which I believe was the first conference solely dedicated to the topic of Software Defined Networks (SDN). One of the presentations covered Open Networking Foundation, its raison d'être, modus operandi, etc. When introducing participating members, presenter noted that he is not going to mention all of them, and the interesting part is not who is participating but who is missing from the list. A whole letter of the alphabet in particular was conspicuous by its absence, which, he added, might be for the best as he would hate to see an SDN become an iSDN. It cracked me up so much I had to pause the presentation and find somebody to share the joke with in a hurry. It's in moments like this I truly appreciate the fact that N. and I work in the same industry and can talk shop without getting blank looks in return. As an added bonus to the joke, his company falls under the same letter of the alphabet.
