Oh, please. Compared to what? Megabytes of viruses? Long discussions about whether viruses should be filtered from the IETF mail list? Long discussions about whether IETF mail lists should accept e-mail only from subscribers? Repeated tirades against address translation? While Gordon is regularly fairly confused, he sometimes does provide a few interesting tidbits in his infrequent postings. The information content of his postings probably ranks at least average for IETF postings (I am sorry to say). It seems to me that Gordon's postings are the least of the challenges faced by the IETF mail list. -tjs
