What I can't wrap my head around is the logic that connects it to Dean. Here is the data that's giving me a problem: In the last six months approximately 65%-75% of email generated by or about Dean to this list have been in response to messages that complained about the relevancy of his comments. In fact roughly 20% of all mail this list has received either by or relating to Dean has been from this thread alone. If you remove those messages from the count then over the last six months Dean averages around one email every 4-6 days. (all figures are rough "at-a-glance" calculations as opposed to pen and paper). Without getting into the discussion of whether an email every 5 days is a DOS I would certainly like to state for the record that without question the pettiness has taken far more thought than the productivity, and so if Dean's posts are a DOS then the posts trying to protect us from them have been an atom bomb. thanks, nick _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
