article now over a fortnight old :
Dr John Stockton was again babbling the following incompetent nonsense:
Tank Engine is possibly unaware of Usefor Work-In-Progress <URL:

Status of this Memo
This document is an Internet-Draft and is in full conformance with
all provisions of Section 10 of RFC 2026.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that
other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-
Drafts.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other
documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts
as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in
progress."

That is correct - but have you studied the rest of it? It appears not,
since you are not yet in compliance with its views. It is indeed a
working document, indicating current thinking among a considerable group
of Usenet experts. It is therefore better, as an indication of well-
considered practice, than some ancient material written for users of
some local hierarchy.
So please cease your outdated rantings, and learn to live, as the
majority of the German people have - with some past difficulty - been
persuaded to do, in harmony with the civilised world.
And do not revive ancient threads, unless you have a contribution of
absolute value to make; it is a childish practice. You are not as
important as you think you are.
