I appreciate your attempt to keep sticking to your point and trying to be serious
about it but... I just don't buy the IETF as the group of brilliant but tortured
souls who have "snarl" at each other to make themselves heard over the din of "Bad
Ideas".

Where is this apocalyptic horde of Bad Ideas that is sucking up all of our precious
resources? The IETF meetings are growing smaller. Clearly we have figured out how
to turn people away at the door.

What problem are you trying to solve Keith?

	Cheers Leif
