Subject:Looking for standards in all the wrong places From:Mark Dempsey <mxd2 -at- OSI -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 28 Jul 1998 07:59:19 -0700
Some strange impulse, perhaps the thought of a "discussion" with a
traffic engineer about standards prompts me to relay one of my Dad's
favorite sayings:
"Don't try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and it annoys
the pig."
Perhaps I'm just talking to myself here...
