Over the last two years EVERYONE has ripped Postel's authority to shreds. And the pitiful respect of ten guys and a handful of IETF stiffs is irrelevant. Postel is deposed. What remains is to install the next regime...

You don't have authority to speak on behalf of "EVERYONE". (edit) You ARE irrelevant. Blaming respected people isn't a way to fix things. Or are you going to blow everything up and then build a "bright future"? (edit) Wow! How interesting. Are you offering yourself for the role of such regime's prophet or something?
Not prophet. More like the emmissary poet of this new direction. Furthermore if respected people blunder and fall and continue in the same disasterous paths we are left no choice but to summarily depose them and, if so called upon, to destroy all they misguidedly created. On the last matter as to who speaks for the prescient "EVERYONE" only tommorrow will tell. My sense is that the vision I promote is in closer tune with the interests of the General Good than is the cult of personaily aka: IANA/IETF/IAB/ISOC/IAHC/CORE/POC/ETC... Fighting words that would be unneccessary if you would but see youir collective folly. TeleVirtually Yours, Bob Allisat http://www.wtv.net -------- Logged at Mon Feb 2 16:03:06 MET 1998 ---------
