<rant> I'm soooo tired of this line of argumentation. Sunday is part of the (religious as well as secular) weekend for some cultures, too. We've dealt with (or ignored) this reality for decades. If we're going to trample on sensitivities, we may as well be equal-opportunity about it. </rant> Randy _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
