okay. Well I still think MUAs should be a priori RFC-822 compliant. (Not
that any are.)

a) Clearly we don't have dictatorial territorial jurisdiction. But it
would be nice :)
b) I only pointed it out because Patrick Lang claimed that the ULA would
only target the business school. Clearly it does not. This is an
obvious misrepresentation. If what the ULA targets is irrelevant, it
should not have been mentioned in the first place by one of its
members. IOW, it's a ``red herring''.
Yes, the utility of the discussion is questionable. It is more of an open
rant than anything else.
