Re: [ga] Once more into the breach....

[Don Brown <donbrown_l@inetconcepts.net>]

I tend to agree.

The statements and conclusions in the post in question made absolutely
no sense. Rather, it screamed that the writer didn't possess a
rudimentary understanding of the very basic elements of WLS.

There is a wealth of pertinent information already published and
readily available on the web, including VeriSign's proposal and
amendments, MP3s and written minutes of meetings and the TTF's
several published works, et al. The archives of the GA list
also contain extensive information accumulated over the past several
months. Many of those posts and publications include links to
supporting information, as well.

I don't think a new/different web site will cure what ails the writer
in question. Initiative is a more compelling prescription, but only
he can help himself with that.

Thanks,
