Still doesn't, but you're free to assume Good I really didn't want to have to post it again. The insult she levered against me is that she was implying that not only did I not format it incorrectly but that readers of it would not be able to understand it even if I had inserted the paragraph breaks she was requesting. This was intended as a shot at my ability to communicate. > all you want about how things are supposed to work in the IETF.

I guess I just assumed this was a forum for professional adults that would be free from the usual trolling and childish insults found in other arenas like usenet. Perhaps I was wrong but I would like to think that I wasn't. Then again don't we all like to be right about things like that. > cheers, > gja > -- > Grenville Armitage > http://caia.swin.edu.au Now can we be done with this nonsense? Thanks, Doug
