  - What would it take to get mcast to work with the wireless code?
    Apart from rewriting all the separate C++ and OTcl routing code?

I thought you got the most SIGCOMM points by noting that your paper
was rejected by SIGCOMM, making your paper available anyway, but
refusing to make the reviewers' comments available while implying that
the reviewers must have been smoking crack or something.

That seems to be a growing trend; I now have 'get a paper rejected by
SIGCOMM' down as a viable long-term career goal.
