I appreciate your attempt to keep sticking to your point and trying to be serious about it but... I just don't buy the IETF as the group of brilliant but tortured souls who have "snarl" at each other to make themselves heard over the din of "Bad Ideas". Where is this apocalyptic horde of Bad Ideas that is sucking up all of our precious resources? The IETF meetings are growing smaller. Clearly we have figured out how to turn people away at the door. What problem are you trying to solve Keith? Cheers Leif
