Marc, you continue to latch on to random statements in random e-mails, take 
them out of context, ignore the main points, and then wonder why people 
cannot follow your logic.  Honestly, I do not blame you for giving up.

I still stand by my assertion that the IETF has nothing to do with DI 
pinging someone.  And I stand by my assertion that lots of people do lots 
of things that are not standardized, and this can frequently be a Good 
Thing, both for the networks / web pages / whatever involved, and the 
Internet as a whole.  (Feel free to point out that it can also be bad, just 
so everyone knows you got the last word, even if that was not the point.)


Oh, and it's patRICK.  Or at least Happy.  But not "Pat".  Show some simple 
courtesy and at least look at the signature.
