I see. I thought you were talking about the current thread, not some hypothetical migration of some other thread. Hallam-Baker started the current thread to complain about sarcasm and intimidation relating to anti-spam efforts. And there clearly is intimidation. The current thread did not migrate; hence I mistook your comments as being somehow relevant to the current thread. It is too bad you didn't take the opportunity to clear up the ambiguity of whether you want the IETF to stop work on spam issues. --Dean -- Av8 Internet Prepared to pay a premium for better service? www.av8.net faster, more reliable, better service 617 344 9000 _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
