Ole,
OK, the I can reply, contributor to contributor.
Two reasonable people can argue about complexity metrics. Sometimes, these
arguments make sense.
Sometimes, metrics aren't required. By any measure, my bicycle is a more simple
machine than my car.
However, I think that it is unfair to say that:
- All discussion of simplicity is marketing
- Any discussion of simplicity visa vis source routing is an oxymoron.

Ron,

Wearing a chair's hat has never stopped anyone from replying before.
For formal 6man communication Bob and I generally sign with "Best regards, Bob
and Ole, 6man co-chairs".
Unless that signature is there you can assume I post as an individual.

The slight hostility I detect in your replies, I suspect has more to do with
the particular employer hat I also wear as opposed to the chair hat.
