I didn't mean you were uniformed about the draft.  I meant
you were uninformed about the people working on it.  What
I was complaining about was your attacks on our integrity,
not your opinion of Palladium or the POSIX drafts.

     I _TRIED_ very hard to participate in the mock ballot and I _HAVE_
   sent written comments in via the USPS and I _HAVE_ looked at the draft
   circulated with the mock ballot.  

You've complained that your comments were lost, and implied that
I lost them on purpose.  In fact, when the results of the mock
ballot came out and you told me your comments were missing, I 
responded to you, asking you to send them again and we'd go
through them as we did with the others, and re-issue the results
of the mock ballot.  But you didn't send them again.  

If I were going to participate in the kind of innuendo you've been,
I'd wonder out load whether they exist.  I'm not saying that they
don't exist, I'm just giving an example of the kind of personal
attacks you've been making on 1003.7.1

     Now while I'm sure that Duke personally thinks that POSIX.7 are
   doing The Right Thing, I'm at least as sure that it isn't The Right
   Thing.  On that we're not likely to be agreeing soon.

This is fine.  I'm not even sure *I* think POSIX should be standardizing
on such new stuff.  For example, I think the work on pthreads and XDS 
and XOM, all of which are *this close* to standards, may be a little
premature.  Maybe Ran's right about Palladium.  Let's vote and find out.

But for crying out loud, stop dumping on us personally.

That's it, no more flaming for me.  :->
