thank you for reminding me of where i do not want to go.

the ietf culture presumes the players are adults.  yes, this has
occasional failures, perhaps i am one.  but better that than massive
rules which do not actually stop the really egregious abuses.

a 40 page contract drawn up by the lawyers does not ensure a meeting
of the minds, let alone the hearts.
