Fair enough Tom. I have two requests. First for those of us with
dial up connections would you be good enough to explain how to get this
material by email?
Second: an observation. I had a converssation just within the last hour
with someone who has been involved in the internet for a lot longer than
I. he agreed that as recently as 1990 or 1991, if there were a perceived
need for a new protocol like the internet mercantile protocols, several
internet engineers would have used the regular IETF standards process to
get the job done. Their employers would have continued to pay their
salaries. They would not have come to the federal government for a handout.
But I do want to learn more about your side of the story Tom, so please if
you don't post the EIT material to com-priv at least send it to me by private
email..... I *will* read it.
