I posted Last Calls on an I-D and waited for them to appear on the mailing list, which they never did. Tried again and again, cut down the lengthy list of addressees, no joy. Sent it from another e-mail address to myself; you've guessed it, no joy. Wonder if me ESP is being dDossed, wait a long time, try again, yup, no joy. Think laterally. I made a reference to a protocol, an IGP, the subject of RFC4444; remove the reference and my mail gets straight through. So, it looks like my ESP, not one of the smaller ones, will not allow me to participate in any discussion of that protocol. Perhaps we need a synonym for it, the TOIGP (The Other IGP) (and perhaps I need to get into hiding:-(. Tom Petch
