Gee, that's magnaamous of you <grin>. I've been an ISOC member for
years. I believe that Kevin is also, not to mention Karl. There are a
few other ISOC members here also, whom I do not know. You must not
mistake personal views with that published by the organization. I joined
the ISOC so that I could support the IETF. I will continue to do so. It
does NOT mean that I share all of their views. As a matter of fact, I
have protested those views, more than once, both on the ISOC list and
with the titular leadership. I'm just not all that public about it when
I do.
