Hi Thanks for your input, and I comment on your post that it is always important to listen to reviews, and try to understand reviewers (even if they may be stupid, or have wrong comments), any world/community editor or author should be careful to listen and understand to comments, to make their work clarified, true and up to date. A conference or document maybe noticed as a fake/humerous/joky only if it gets reviewed by the world and commented on in public, in that way the world can be aware. That is why I like the IETF that its documents are Request For Comment (RFC), different from other world published documents. If I am a chairman of a conference I will name its publications RFC as well :)
I got once a reply on my review in an IETF WG that it was academic not practical (I never distiguish them because I beleive they are married), which I think we need all kinds of reviews, I like to include comments as was this implemented or measured its performance (by questioning authors). Reviewing any document in the world (which will be published in the world) is not an easy task and also important for authors to respect and acknowledge such review because it increases reputation and saves them the worlds confusion after publish. I recommend all world WGs do more reviews and discussion on their documents to get better reputation.
