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
