Please stop attacking the respectable members of the WG.

I haven't done any formal analysis for DANE or PQ. So I am neither 
interested in the history nor the details.

If your concern is about DANE, I want precise answer to two questions 
posted a couple of times since December 16 [0,1,2]:

Did you reach out to the researchers who did DANE-related formal 
analysis? What did they say?

The first one is pretty binary. Why are you not giving a yes/no answer 
to it?

Thanks for staying on point.
