Re: Fwd: Can the USA welcome IETF

(Sorry about this.  I sent a private email to Sr. Mendez, in hopes of 
explaining to him, in terms that he could understand, that he may have 
some misconceptions.  Hhe chose to reply on ietf@ietf.org.)

To be blunt, I don't "misunderstand" you.  I don't understand your point 
at all, and I'm now positive that you are looking for an argument 
without bothering to look for facts.

Sorry.  _I_ thought I read it, and _I_ was there, when I thought I read 
it.  Were _you_ there, when I thought I was reading it, to know if I was 
really reading it or not?

Again, bluntly, the private email you were replying to QUOTED THE RFC IN 
QUESTION VERBATIM, WITH SURROUNDING MARKS TO IDENTIFY THE QUOTE.  What 
was your clue that I didn't read it?

Legal where?  In the USA, where corporate law says that corporations 
must have rules, and follow them?  That would be the RFC that I quoted 
in my email to you, that you say I haven't read, wouldn't it?

Enough.  I will ignore any further messages from Sr. Mendez on this subject.
