I congratulate SAP for their bold vision in extending their operations

Hi Tim,

agreed on all but the last sentence.

SAP is a large organization, and Martin's opinion definitively isn't the same as SAP's. I disagree with most of what Martin is saying, but everybody is entitled to his/her opinion, and on IETF mailing lists, people usually speak on behalf of themselves.

Best regards, Julian
