Don't you find it odd that you declare everyone that took part
in that debate as misunderstanding the topic - except you?

Did it really take you 3 years to notice this? Looking a those
same archives - you participated in that discussion. Could you
at least post a fix once in a while and not just declare that
it was made as you just posted a few days ago:


  (Bruce) "In looking up something related to CALSCALE I noticed
	that CAP-12-e makes an unmentioned change to iCalendars REQUEST-STATUS
	property.  This change is NOT good NOR is it necessary. "

You participated in that debate 3 years ago and yet you seem to
have indicated (above in the full post) that there was a change made
without your or the lists permission. Do you not see how that can
be seen as abusive to this list?

Would you please read the archives and search for topic before posting
more misinformation that causes others to have to do your work and
lookup the history only to find again that you posted an incorrect
history of events. Will you ever be embarrassed by your continual
errors you post?

Can you ever live with something that is not 100% your way?

Lets get CAP out the door. Yes this needs fixed but your post
forced me (and I will bet others) have to re read the archives
only to conclude that your original post had false information.
At least this one you caught before this got into a big debate.
There was no -12-e change to the ABNF - your fears or whatever
are causing this list grief when you cause others to have to lookup
your contributions to see if what you say is valid. So far of your
original posts to a topic you are running about 5% accuracy as
as whole on your first post (I counted from Jan-2003). Causing others
to have to redig over and over again into the archives because you
shoot from the hip.
