i've been very active on this mailing list in the last few days and i
hope that (1) i've entertained some of you in the process, and (2) it's
about to slow down somewhat.

i characterize the population differently.  still two groups, but one of
them thinks that VoIP is a kind of telephony whereas the other thinks of
VoIP as just another IP application.  i'm in the latter group, but if i'd
invested hundreds of millions of dollars in TDM gear i'd be in the former
group.  i think the tension between these groups is very nearly "explosive."
