   actually, it was not the AD, but the co-chair.  and it was in the midst of
   a bunch of other humorous moments in the wg.  and yes indeed, an 800-ton
   gorilla with a bad technical scam and a global bad rep for it and an
   attitude to go with.

Hmm.... and in a previous thread we heard lots of people applauding the
idea of having the wg-chair tap the microphone, or even hit a switch
which turns off the speaker's microphone in that case.....
