Not quite sure what you mean.  Which particular aspect of it is getting
stupid?  Me voicing my willingness to work towards the same goal with
Wayne?  Do you feel we're going about this the wrong way?  I think the
idea of collaborating resources as regards the help, information, and
publishing of an RFC is precisely what we need.  Its quite clear that
there is a split within the community here as to the confidence in
previous leadership. 

The new draft (draft-lentczner-spf-00) was going to document the current
"v=spf1" (SPF Classic) that everyone is using as of 1 month ago, and maybe
still today.  It did not.  The new draft documented a new SPF, still called
"v=spf1".  This is stupid!

This I agree.  What you are witnessing is "feature creep" in action.

  "v=spf1" should hot be a moving target at this
point.  Wayne can see this.  He documented what he believes is the running
spec for "v=spf1" which he based his code on (spf-draft-200406).  He has
said this over and over.  If the new draft was going to change spf1 then it
should have been "v=spf1.1" or something, but not "v=spf1".

Saying something over and over doesn't make it right.  No one individual
here is going to be able to garner the respect and support of everyone
present.  Its going to take a unified team of us to agree on a couple of
outstanding issues (as I see it and others do) with the SPF1 spec.  They
are rather minute and could probably be quickly hashed out in a couple
of days.

I would like to state tho that technical discussion should really move
to the spf-devel list where there is far less disturbance and way more
focus.

Cheers,

James
