pointers to IETF drafts
THUS SPAKE "Perry E. Metzger" <[email protected]>:
#
# Some of us are participants in the IETF, are even on the IPSEC working
# group, and are well aware of the pending work on IPng and IPv4
# security, and don't want Yet Another Copy of these things. If you
# insist, why not just note that there are drafts pending and not
# forward each of the announcement messages?
If he were to do that, people would ask (or at least wonder)
1. just what is this?
and
2. where can I get it?
It turns out the announcment is only two or three pages long,
and about 1/3 of it answers question 1,
and the other 2/3 answers (for various clients) question 2.
I thought it was a very appropriate way of using the list --
a good comprimise between spamming and being silent.
I was able to quickly determine if I was interested (I was),
and use my favorite way to fetch it (since I'm not in metamail,
I grabbed the URLs and LYNXed them.)
