As before, you presume much.  Randy has rejected articles from me before on
the grounds that they were off-topic.  Upon reflection, I had to agree w/ him.
(And I'm still waiting for Sue to tell me to stop contributing to this thread,
on the same basis, and I will agree with her, too.)

On the grounds that the creation of an alternative mailing list was off-topic?
That would be quite a spectacle.  Please do it, I'd like to see the results.

So your beef is with IETF process (sanctioning restricted forums) rather than
with the restrictedness of the forum?  You think the IETF has some kind of
monopoly on discussions of DNS's fine points and that because of this we ought
to continue debating those fine points on other lists, like this one?

You've got THAT right, at least.
