Re: advertising on official IETF mailing lists

2001-05-15 Thread Rahmat M. Samik-Ibrahim

Hello:

First of all, thank you for reply. And by the way,
you do not need to send me an extra copy of your
email (since I am on the IETF list). 

Second,  I get more annoyed when receive:
- extra copies of a same email
- "I am out of office" messages (guess: how many will I
  receive soon...).
- be rich in 7 days adv.
- Goldstein's tonner supply adv;
compared to a single predictable (filterable) "monthly 
report" posting.

Third, but it should not be considered as supporting
that monthly report post. I was questioning the
reason for stopping it.

So, why had that "IETF officer" not censored it until
recently?

Yes, but it is allowed to do a montly posting
to the IETF list?

Forth, we can work it out... we can work out...
Life is very short, and there is no time for fussing
and fighting my friend...

It isn't an IETF standards discussion.  It is 
advertising for a commercial product.

Better late than never.

Nope.  IETF Censored isn't an IETF list, though an IETF list
is filtered (by someone other than an IETF officer) into that list.

IETF censored is not an IETF official mailing list.
IETF Censored is a private mailing list operated out of Italy.
