IETF doesn't want feedback.

Thank you for being part of a crowd of hundreds of people who have
mailbombed
the mailboxes of thousands of IETF 'members' (since we don't have any formal
membership, just an email list). As a result, we all have such positive
feeling about the FSF.

Indeed! I think you too would find it a bit tiresome around message #300 -
especially as most of us work in different areas - I have nothing do with
application stuff, I work on packet routing.

Thanks for having a sense of humour - mine has worn pretty thin.
