Mike, this comment is unproductive and false.

It is well known that bad actors are the first and heartiest adopters of

are not litigating this fact on this list.

Please stick to the merits of the discussion and bring operational evidence
to support your concern, or let's move on to another ticket.

Seth, as Chair
