What was it, 30 messages collected by Megatron over eight days ? FYI 36 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4949#page-101> offers a definition for "denial of service". Of course some messages about a "standard on experimental track" or similar kind of miss the point. As a "campaign" it reminded me of the weird "yes, we will deploy sender-id" parade in MARID. Other messages were perfectly on topic, apparently from concerned folks. I agree with the drift in the rest of your message, but of course I won't say anything about the specific I-D in an IETF Last Call, for starters I didn't read it. OTOH I also agree with the drift of pages like <http://ffii.org>, that includes a case where "attack" would be putting it mildly.
