THUS SPAKE "Perry E. Metzger" <perry@imsi.com>: # # Some of us are participants in the IETF, are even on the IPSEC working # group, and are well aware of the pending work on IPng and IPv4 # security, and don't want Yet Another Copy of these things. If you # insist, why not just note that there are drafts pending and not # forward each of the announcement messages? If he were to do that, people would ask (or at least wonder) 1. just what is this? and 2. where can I get it? It turns out the announcment is only two or three pages long, and about 1/3 of it answers question 1, and the other 2/3 answers (for various clients) question 2. I thought it was a very appropriate way of using the list -- a good comprimise between spamming and being silent. I was able to quickly determine if I was interested (I was), and use my favorite way to fetch it (since I'm not in metamail, I grabbed the URLs and LYNXed them.) strick
