Marc, you continue to latch on to random statements in random e-mails, take
them out of context, ignore the main points, and then wonder why people
cannot follow your logic. Honestly, I do not blame you for giving up.
I still stand by my assertion that the IETF has nothing to do with DI
pinging someone. And I stand by my assertion that lots of people do lots
of things that are not standardized, and this can frequently be a Good
Thing, both for the networks / web pages / whatever involved, and the
Internet as a whole. (Feel free to point out that it can also be bad, just
so everyone knows you got the last word, even if that was not the point.)
Oh, and it's patRICK. Or at least Happy. But not "Pat". Show some simple
courtesy and at least look at the signature.
