: Sincere apologies for my awkward statement. Dictionary.com defines
: "doughty" as "marked by stouthearted courage; brave". I wasn't
: questioning the knowledge or passion of folks holding views that
: differ from my own. Rather I was attempting to question whether
: anybody actively participating on this list - holding whatever view -
: is also participating in ITU discussions.
