I never said there was a consensus call. The industry is deploying
Opus where they are loathe to deploy VP8.  There is obviously wide
belief it is safe to do so.  That's what consensus means.

The IETF didn't invent rough consensus. Nor it has stamped out the
idea elsewhere.  I'm not playing silly gotcha word games, and neither
was Jack.

If I (we) are right or wrong, it's on the merit of the arguments, not
use of punctuation, mispelingz, or brainos, or intentional misreadings
of others' points.  Honest misunderstanding is one thing.  Not caring
if you understand [and feigning outrage] is quite another.

We're all acting like a bunch of bloody engineers when there's only
one pop-tart left.
