I publicly retract articles 1917@vdsvax.steinmetz.UUCP and
1937@vdsvax.steinmetz.UUCP. I canceled the second article.

Bob has posted his proposal.

I admit to pre-judging his plan. My criticisms are currently inappropriate.
His personality, methods, and the fact that he find the alternate
backbone mechanism "incomprehensible" - yet he proposes forming a
replacement backbone using his quota distribution scheme caused me to
form a personal opinion of Bob Webber, which has not changed.
