There are plenty of emails I am ashamed of.
Yup, after a flare-up on this list some years ago in which I was kind of active I was sitting at the bar in the IETF hotel with an IESG member. Another IESG member came up to him and said, "what's with this Harkins guy? He's such an asshole!" The response was, "ask him, he's sitting right here." So this other IESG member and I went and found a table to chat. It was my "tone" on the list that got his dander up. But we had a nice exchange and the opportunity to sit together and have a talk really helped. Email is a flawed medium for communication but it scales well so we use it. I guess maybe we shouldn't read so much into an email or at least not draw conclusions about people based solely on the emails they send. regards, Dan.
