Gregory,
Flame wars are of no interest if they do not have a metapurpose.

In this case you were personal (again, today about Hebe speciosa's 
nickname) and wrong (the VGNICS is the very core of the Sao Paulo 
debate once we have technically implemented, tested and verified it). 
Better to sop it.

For what Marilyn and you do not undersnand, I will document it later 
today in response to Bill Manning.

1. I certainly know Louis since 1978 and we created an association 
(Eurolinc) together, but my technical roots are in sea operational 
use and my architectonic vision come from Norman Hardy's Tymnet.

2. Had you been on Elisabeth's site you would have seen that the 
reference is Vint Cerf. Vint Cerf is the one who explains that his 
internet project is Louis Pouzin's catenet.

3. You are probably confusing architectonical cultures. 
http://pouzinsociety.org/: I certainly do not disagree with Louis 
Pouzin and John Day on everything, but on the peculiar DNS issue it 
happens that we fundamentally disagree!

4. Since I am not sure you understood who Louis is and how his 
positions relate to the internet's past, present and future:
