Sure, if people think there's something wrong with the IETF, they are
always welcome to take part in the discussion and fix it. But an email
bombing is just an email bombing. What if all of the tens of thousands
employees of the company I work for started sending emails to FFII's
mailing lists arguing that s/w patents are good? I suspect that my
company would just be discredited by that, without achieving any useful
effect. Now, if you agree with that, just replace "my company" with
"FSF" and "FFII" with "IETF" and you got what I mean...
