        RFCs form Internet guidelines, notes, and standards.  They
        are not marketing advantages, brochure fillers, reasons,
        pressure-points, or massage techniques.

        You've shown usual lack of understanding of bandwidth
        usage, conservation, and reservation, despite many comments
        from Michael and others.

        RFCs don't pressure developers or users, and has nothing to do
        with your seriously messed-up religious viewpoints on "retail
        networks" or whatever else you were typing while your prozac
        wore off.

        Please don't make it any worse by       
        calling for an RFC ''so marketing can force'' some solution
        you don't understand to a problem you can't define on a network
        you don't run or ever will grok.
