An RFC would also make it a lot easier to justify restraints on what users can do. RFC compliance could even be turned into a marketing advantage, which would put pressure on other networks to comply as well. I much prefer pressuring developers than pressuring users, but I think anyone who runs a "retail" network or is aware of mailbombing software, spamming software, or cracking software knows that being part policeman and part parent comes with the territory. "Bad" applications will be written no matter what the RFC says. -- Dick St.Peters, Gatekeeper, Pearly Gateway, Ballston Spa, NY [email protected] Owner, NetHeaven 518-885-1295/800-910-6671 Internet for Albany/Saratoga, Glens Falls, North Creek, & Lake Placid First Internet service based in the 518 area code - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
