You are reminded of MARID?
That was the last time RMS had one of these write in campaigns. That then led
to a counter-write-in campaigns.
Lets all write Congress while we are at it.

What was it, 30 messages collected by Megatron over eight days ?
FYI 36 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4949#page-101> offers a
definition for "denial of service".
Of course some messages about a "standard on experimental track"
or similar kind of miss the point. As a "campaign" it
reminded me of the weird "yes, we will deploy sender-id"
parade in MARID.
Other messages were perfectly on topic, apparently from
concerned folks. I agree with the drift in the rest of your
message, but of course I won't say anything about the
specific I-D in an IETF Last Call, for starters I didn't read it.
OTOH I also agree with the drift of pages like
<http://ffii.org>, that includes a case where "attack" would
be putting it mildly.
