Only a couple of days ago you were whining because the RFC Editor rejected
your TAP "authentication protocol" RFC, which was the context.  You attempted
to foist TAP off as a serious authentication mechanism, you used the same
techniques as you are demonstrating now.  A number of folks, myself included,
got fed up with you and told you off.

If you don't like being called a sleeze, then stop acting like one.

There are several folks on this mailing list who have a great deal more
experience and expertise with Internet mail protocols than you.  Your behavior
is inappropriate and will result in your being ignored.

You have several avenues of appeal; I suggest you take your complaints to the
IESG, where they will get the consideration that they deserve.
