And of course they will argue with this, because they don't want to recognize their own failings. Instead of seeing a stream of posts from this target of opportunity, I see multiple streams of posts from people complaining about him. Sorry, but the "cure" is a lot worse than the "disease." _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
