Hi Paul,

I sincerely did not intend to compare you with anyone. It's just that the
expression that you are offended about, was played on TV and radio so many
times that, I sub-consiously included it in the mail. If you see my
statement I didn't even re-read my statement, and I am probably missing a
"we" in there. I did not intend to offend you like you took it. My sincere
apologies.

I just wanted to confirm that we are now debating on how to parse the
statements in RFC 2401.

I am here promoting our proposal as a better proposal than the existing
proposals, and you turn around and call our proposal "all hole". It always
sounds different on the receiving end.

    sorry,
    chinna
