@ Jim, if you are going to make backhand accusations against me, I will have
@ to ask for proof.  This is not the first time that you have done this, and
@ you have never provided a single example.  Anything that I have ever said
@ about anyone publically has been information that was gathered publically,
@ off of mailing lists, web sites, and PUBLIC meetings (such as NANOG
@ presentations or IETF working group sessions), or information about
@ something which I am working on and the information was not publically
@ available yet.  Either provide an example, or get off the pot, I am tired
@ of your accusations.
