Mr. Fleming has been booted off of several providers recently for abusing mailing lists and private mail boxes. It would seem reasonable to have him removed, even if it ends up being a "wack a mole" process. john brown speaking for myself and no organization which means if I get mail from Flem, I'll report it as abuse and get him kicked off again.

Or should everybody start spamming the list with "IPv32". The even bigger problem with "Jim Fla^Heming's IPv8" is the fact that he is abusing a registered version number for his own purposes: http://www.iana.org/assignments/version-numbers 8<---- 8 PIP The P Internet Protocol [PXF] ---->8 This 'discussion' comes up every once in a while making normal talk on the ietf lists spoiled with trolls: http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/threads.html#14158 Can anybody find something Jim Flemming wrote to the list that had any relevance at all? The only thing to be found is the spamming of his 'IPv8' idea and all those domain names he want. And that's the final thing I said about this person. Greets, Jeroen
