Sorry, what "attitude" are you talking about here ? I was speaking about people who publish drafts but never say a word to anyone about their draft. What's the purpose ? If the purpose is to get new ideas through, I don't see how publishing a draft and non advertising is useful for the sender (it may for the reader). But more importantly, I don't see what you see as "hostile" in the observation above. Thierry. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
