It does have one characteristic that seems to be missing from your own varied assertions about nasty impact: observable data. It also presumes that those implementing code operate wholly independently of those who will operate or use that running code. (An extended pattern of such independence is usually a good way of going out of business.) And the claim of more spam was directly addressed as being wrong. So perhaps you can show an empirical basis for your claims of doom and gloom? Oh. Right. During the very extended discussion threads, none was produced. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
