RFC compliance could even be turned into a marketing
advantage, which would put pressure on other networks to comply as
well.
RFCs form Internet guidelines, notes, and standards. They
are not marketing advantages, brochure fillers, reasons,
pressure-points, or massage techniques.
You've shown usual lack of understanding of bandwidth
usage, conservation, and reservation, despite many comments
from Michael and others.
I much prefer pressuring developers than pressuring users, but I think
anyone who runs a "retail" network or is aware of mailbombing
software, spamming software, or cracking software knows that being
part policeman and part parent comes with the territory. "Bad"
applications will be written no matter what the RFC says.
RFCs don't pressure developers or users, and has nothing to do
with your seriously messed-up religious viewpoints on "retail
networks" or whatever else you were typing while your prozac
wore off.
Please don't make it any worse by
calling for an RFC ''so marketing can force'' some solution
you don't understand to a problem you can't define on a network
you don't run or ever will grok.

Ehud, I'm sorry I'm so stupid. I guess Per Bilse should fire that
other stupid person in his office for suggesting an RFC - but Per's
own .sig is 7 lines, so I guess he must be an outcast already also.
Luckily for Michael, he owns his own network, so nobody can fire him
for stupidly suggesting that an RFC could be used to pressure
developers.
For everyone else: I'm not sure what triggers these outbursts at me by
Ehud, but the first one appeared to be some kind of religious
fanaticism directed at my choice of name for my network. Most people
who get it (there are people who don't) find the choice amusing, and I
have more than my share of religious organizations as clients because
of it.
