In my very humble opinion history compression must also have an end somewhere. Again in my opinion is RFC 822 such an outstanding document and also event in history that to mention and refer to it explicitly is by no means excessive, it maybe (i would say: yes) is even proper -- i do not think you loose nor win agility and forward movement by erasing references to such monuments, but you will erode your own foundation if you do, ending up with less holistically grown individual snowflakes in a storm, so to say. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
