	the sheets still circulate.  :)

	i have emperical evidence of the fact.

	perhaps so.  the question was raised, responses were given
	and judgement has occured.  some think it is a real issue, others
	think its a non-issue and a waste of time.  and perhaps both are
	right in their own narrow pov.  for me, the blue sheet issue 
	first drove me to sign & then not provide an email address. these days
	when I do attend an IETF, I don't sign at all. Of course i don't 
	say much, if anything, so as not to run afoul of the other legal
	strictures placed on IETF participants.

	Now Scott claims this is not honest. I will need to spend some
	time trying to understand why refusing to participate in all
	aspects of a strictly voluntary process is dishonest.

Opinions expressed may not even be mine by the time you read them, and
certainly don't reflect those of any other entity (legal or otherwise).
