Oh, I agree, we knew that. There are very, very few discontinuous intellectual leaps in our part of the universe. It's hard to name one that happened in the past decade or two.

Now that I think about it, forget "of late", have there EVER been any? _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
