  I don't expect people to understand every RADIUS detail.  I *do*
expect people to be able to read things... when told what to read.

  I've given up expecting the complainers to contribute anything.
There's a *strong* correlation between people who complain, and people
who don't contribute.

  The people who *do* contribute say things like "this thing annoyed me,
so here's the fix."  I'll take that any day over empty complaints.

  Ubuntu managed to ship 8.04 (LTS) with 1.1.7.  This means that 1.1.7
will be included in Ubuntu 8.04 for the next 3 years.

  I'm going to put the ~200 pages of my book up on deployingradius.com.
 I'll post an announcement later this week.
