That is partly right: Several old threads where your assertion was previously shown to be false. Further, several times now, your group, after a hiatus, resumed discussion by repeating your assertion as though no objections were raised previously. Forthrightness and honesty would seem to require disclosure that you have no response to the objections. Or at least that there are objections. Failure to disclose the objections is misleading. Even the CIA has to do that. http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg04836.html ===================== I strongly oppose the draft for the reasons described in: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop/msg03891.html http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop/msg03893.html http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop/msg03902.html A great number of issues, logic flaws and false assumptions identified previously with the document, have not been addressed nor corrected. During 2 sessions of discussion, the authors made assertions for which there is no basis in fact. In the second session, the authors and proponents simply repeated claims discredited in May, as though those arguments had no prior opposition whatsoever. They just repeated a mantra, as if repeating it often and ignoring the contrary evidence somehow makes the mantra true.
