OK, we have now reached >20 messages from armchair lawyers on 
trademark law. Given the earlier threads this year from armchair 
lawyers on patents, that leaves us just two months for us to have a 
ponderous thread on trade secrets, and we will have covered the main 
parts of intellectual property law.

For 2001, I propose that we have at least one long thread with our 
expert opinions on international law, given that the IETF is a global 
community.
