Oh, come on. People on this list have decades of experience managing and |
| 6 |
implementing e-mail protocols, and you call their (free) help a "massive waste |
| 7 |
of time"? Stop being silly and realise that no initial proposal is completely |
| 8 |
flawless. |

As I keep urging you, define some goals (and as Grant said, start with defining |
| 11 |
the current problem), finish an initial standards document, and begin writing a |
| 12 |
reference implementation. Or just define some of the core algorithms with |
| 13 |
pseudocode. I can almost-guarantee that you will start realising things that |
| 14 |
need changing almost immediately upon doing so. |

Perhaps it is just me with my English sense of over-politeness, but I find your |
| 17 |
conduct to be remarkably audacious (and frankly rude) considering all the time |
| 18 |
people are spending to help you. ... And if you don't want this sort of on-line |
| 19 |
discourse, why did you post on the list at all? |
