Where did this precept come from? Here I thought we were all part of the "internet" and had more-or-less agreed to abide by its 'rules' [the RFCs at the least]. This seems like a recipe for chaos. Can't wait to sign up for an ISP and see a list of protocols that they choose to ignore, protocols that they intentionally mishandle, etc, and have EVERY ISP posting a *different* 200 page list... and the sentiment being not "Hey, there are standards, let's play together" but "their networks, their rules, screw you". Maybe I've just been brainwashed, but I'm a conformance and cooperation and standards kind of guy, not an "everybody rolls his own" one... /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--
