If y'all are going to choose a new term, please do so for the right reason. This thread was started by Kazunori saying "the word "lame" may have a discriminatory meaning". I spent hours a few years ago looking into this when it first came up, and I believe he is incorrect, or at least too concerned. In the US and UK, the use of "lame" is mostly descriptive, only occasionally derogatory. Of course it is a negative word: that's the point. But it's not used against people in the same way that some other negative words are. --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
