Fair enough. I refuse to get into personal disputes on-list. However, your
points in this recent thread are well-taken. I need to get some sleep now
(have to be up in ~3 hours), but I'll certainly reply to this post
tomorrow. :)

Jay, It is very amusing that you take this personally and wish to take
things off-list.  IMHO, if your product is truely as revolutionary to
networking as your marketing monkeys would have the "know nots" believe,
any discussion of it will be truely on-topic for NANOG and in will in-fact
become a MUST-READ for anyone who wishes to survive in the new networking
world that your company has created.


If you have nothing more than marketing hype to give us, shut up.  This is
an informational list.  We don't give a rats behind about pipe-dreams and
"we wish it were a standard" protocols.  We run _REAL_ networks.  Nets run
on "proprietary" protocols are _BY_DEFINITION_ islands and as such, NOT
part of the global internet.

Trademark, copyright, have your dog leave his scent on the source/roadmap
of your "proprietary protocol" but until you release it to the GP so we
can critique it, you're nothing more than a rainmaker to me.
