Folks, unfortunately the IETF is mostly populated by well-meaning, earnest 
people who take all criticisms seriously.

It leaves us open to a deprivation of service attack by the occasional 
participant who is more interested in disruption than in progress.

Continued responses on the mailing list, to Dan's limited but peristent 
variety of harangues serve only to distract the group.

I strongly urge all non-"management" personnel (ie, anyone not a WG chair 
or an AD) to refrain from responding to Dan's periodic challenges... unless 
of course you really, really, REALLY believe he is raising a major 
criticism that has strong validity.
