	Assuming "-1" is "all ones" is, to me, a 2's complement bias.  Coming from a
	1's complement environment, I misinterpreted this and shot my mouth off.
	Sorry, folks.  I'm just learning about all this network stuff.
	
	[I still have a problem with some wording in RFC1009, but am not sure this
	is the proper place to raise it.  Can someone advise me on this?]

John,

We plead guilty of 2's-complement bigotry.  I actually did not know there
are still 1's complement machines in the world, in fact...

Please send along any and all comments and suggestions on RFC0-1009 to
us.  We are starting to think about the first revision.
