Kessens only made the complaint in revenge for my administrative complaint about his threat. Kessens complaint, being unjustified revenge, is an attack. But lets not forget, Mr. Bellovin, just last week you reported in your offical capacity as Chair of the IPR WG on the contents of a message of mine involving patent policy. You reported that my message was wrong, and at the end noted you hadn't even read my message. Mr. Bellovin: you are a research scientist at a respected institution, and you know very well that if you haven't read a document, you can't honestly comment on its contents. I am still waiting for your honest acknowledgment that my message was not wrong, and for you to acknowledge honestly as Chair of the IPR Working Group that the IETF policy is to prefer non-encumbered technology as documented in RFC3979 Section 8. --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
