A room full of lawyers will argue all day long, but compromise when it is in their best interests. A room full of doctors will argue all night long but take action when the health of the patient is at risk. Politicians will argue both day and night but agree with the polls.

But these engineers cannot argue and cannot compromise or take action or agree with anyone. Did anyone else here know a kid, that when he did not get his way he took his ball and went home.

IETF Disbands eMail Authentication Standard Working Group
(24/23/22 September 2004)
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has disbanded its MTA
Authorization Records in DNS (MARID) working group, due largely to
"fundamental disagreements" among members and the inability of the group

to reach a consensus on any particular email authentication scheme.
Recent problems included intellectual property and licensing concerns
with Microsoft's proposed sender ID scheme.
