Not true. I will simply remove all links to any server using a
different protocol. While using port 70 to serve a different protocol
is rude and violates widely observed RFC decorum, it would only take a
minute or two to remove links to innovative servers; using this list
to discuss innovations is even worse because it clogs up my inbox. If
anyone insists on discussing this here and refuses to create a new
list, please let me know now so I can add you to my spam filter.
