My two cents - for what it's worth ... first, we all understand the purpose of this forum, but like in 3D conversations, sometimes the topics veer. Perhaps we need to redirect things back, but my God, folks - we're human beings, after all. Just because we're so intimately involved in machinery, they are, after all, just machines!
And my own pet peeve, just because someone comments on something not appealing to you doesn't mean they have too much time on their hands - frankly, they seem to be more well-rounded than the one-trick ponies in the world. If you disagree with the man's politics, great - just say so in a non-aggressive manner and move on. Have a non-confrontational weekend, folks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Don Claybrook Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 5:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: TCP/IP and DOD [7:39657] Sorry, Mr. Hall. Take a look at the order of operations. I was making the point that this was a technical forum that probably didn't need politics inserted. I was RESPONDING to someone who made the political remark in the first place. I'll discontinue this since the purpose is supposed to be all Cisco all the time here, but since you called me out by name, I thought I'd take a stab at defending my statement before bowing out. Thanks. Peace. Don Claybrook CCNP, CCDP, CSS1 (without much extra time on my hands) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jeffrey W.

Those of you who insist on detracting a good conversation with needless comments like that have tooooo much time on your hands, Don. Why don't you and others like you stick to the topic and not be so tempted to provide such a short-sighted remark. Jeffrey W.

Bush could spell TCP/IP "all by himself". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Zeitz" To: Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 2:09 PM Subject: RE: TCP/IP and DOD [7:39657] > Yea, it was Al Gore who invented TCP/IP and the internet, all by > himself. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Priscilla Oppenheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 4:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: TCP/IP and DOD [7:39657] > > Vint Cerf wasn't commissioned.
