The point of getting the logs was, as the paper says, to find out where on the network the connection originated. For the purposes of the draft, I think the level of detail is enough. The draft is already getting pretty long given its topic, so I don't think I want to add the extra detail; but if others disagree with me, I will cheerfully include your suggestions. (By the way, I appreciate that you are willing to comment on the draft, since you said that there is no way it could be modified to address your concerns. But also due to that statement by you, I believe we've been released from trying to address concerns you raise, since every attempt is apparently guaranteed to fail.) > major difference between our drafts: Your draft presents discredited > practices as credulous, while I provide the full context, including the > fact that these practices were discredited. I suppose you mean "credible"; I believe what the reverse-mapping-considerations draft says is that in some circumstances, it _is_ a credible practice. As I've said before, this is not "my draft" but the working group's; I'm just editing it. The feedback that I've received so far is broadly that there are cases where using reverse mapping is a useful practice for them (although there are some who disagree with that, such as you). Since some of that feedback comes from people who are apparently otherwise competent to speak on these topics (e.g. they operate networks, they write protocols, &c.), I take their remarks to be informed ones.
