Hi Noel,

I appreciate that's a problem. However, maybe that's a sign that perhaps next
time the IETF shouldn't *ask* for comments to be sent to the mailing list?

  The IESG is considering approving this draft as a standards track
  RFC. The IESG solicits final comments on whether the IETF community has
  consensus to publish draft-housley-tls-authz-extns as a proposed
  standard. Comments can be sent to ietf at ietf.org or exceptionally to
  iesg at ietf.org. Comments should be sent by 2009-02-11.

That's from 

  http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg05617.html

We all did exactly as you asked. If that caused problems, please consider
creating a separate mechanism for comments next time. But don't blame people
for following your guidelines. That's just silly.

Thanks,
Ward.
