That's a wrong interpretation.  I simply didn't get around to replying
to many non-urgent e-mails and mailing list postings until the weekend.

RFC 1939 is mostly fine.  There're other RFCs which define various
POP3 extensions.  I don't think there's any need in having them all
defined in some new RFC which would obsolete RFC 1939.

You're taking your anti-GPL'ism to the extreme.  GPL doesn't prevent
you from reading GPL'ed source code, quite the opposite.  To say that
GPL'ed source code is generally lower quality than BSD-copyrighted, as
you might imply, would be wrong.
