I'm thankful that I have a sense of humor. :-)
Barry is spot on -- this is one of things that I have
continually bitched about. The decline of clever engineering
in the Internet engineering arena is directly related to (methinks)
situations wherein despicable business practices unfortunately
override common engineering sense, ignorance mysteriously prevails,
and there is a general apathy in doing the Right Thing (tm).
