Knowing the Randy's research, i am sure that Randy will be doing great work
this time too. Being a network researcher I can not wait more to see results
of this experiments.
But, even then I dont think it was a real smart thing to do without prior
permission.

then we would not have some this far (though it still is not that far :) )
in the field. People have contributed specifically for research in the past
and I hope will remain doing so.
