   I don't read Fleming's posts here or elsewhere any more...

You know, if everybody followed Paul's example, the IETF list would be a
lot quieter place.  Maybe it would help us get more engineering work
done.  :-)

I've been very close to putting Fleming in my "delete before reading"
mail filter, especially on days when he sends them in what appears to be
an endless stream of e-mail.  I tip my hat to him; he either is a much
faster typist than I, or he must have a lot more free time than I do,
given his ability to compose large numbers of *long* mail messages.
Now, if only his messages could have some new content, instead of
repeating the same ideas over and over again --- but I suppose that
would be asking too much.

To those of you who feel compelled to engage Fleming --- rest assured he
has stated his position, and has established his credibility (or lack
thereof, depending on who you are), that it's really not necessary to
respond to his posts anymore.  I have already come to the personal
decision to discount everything he says, and I came to that conclusion a
long time ago.  I suspect, furthermore, that I am not alone.
