I had been waiting a while for a quiet moment on the list to express my regret at the passing of Watersprings - R.I.P. Apart from I-D announcements that made to a WG list I track, then watersprings was my primary source for all I-D, simply because the web site was so good, probably as close to perfection as I will ever see. No thousands of .gif to spend ages downloading, no Megabytes of XML that take half an hour to process, no https that locks up the workstation more often than not, no need for a user manual to explain how to do what; just a simple, self-evident interface, as simple as it could be but no simpler (a paragon of engineering design) taking me to exactly what I needed, almost every time (no irtf, but I learnt to live with that). watersprings, you are sorely missed.
