I will post the informal draft to the list maybe as early as later today, but soon, anyhow. I'm trying to establish a common vocabulary, not trying to convince anyone that this is the only way to do things -- hopefully it will be a good way to get us to agree on a definition! tbird _______________________________________________ LogAnalysis mailing list LogAnalysisat_private https://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/loganalysis
