While you're at it, you should give equal time to the loyal opposition.

Michael Padlipsky has recently published a book through Prentice Hall
entitled "The Elements of Networking Style" (ISBN 0-13-268111-0.) It is a
compendium of critiques on the many questionable aspects of the ISO/OSI and
CCITT approaches to networking.  It presents a pretty strong case in favor
of the ARPA protocols (including TCP/IP), by pointing out that they have
already done for almost 10 years everything that ISO is just now getting
around to re-inventing.

Well worth reading if you'd like to avoid buying a picture of a pig in a
poke (to quote one of the author's favorite expressions.)
