Ah, I think I know what happened. I started to actually reply to the 0.99.7 release thread but was interrupted and saved a draft. Later, I forgot about the draft and replied again. Still later, I realized I had a draft and simply deleted the content and used that to start the Network Sorcery thread, or so I thought, not realizing what the real impact was. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll be sure not to do that again. Crap. :(

So you hit "compose new mail" (or its equivalent) to send that email?
That's strange because your first email about this Network Sorcery
thread contains:
> References: <473103F0.7020101@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> <47310625.9050308@xxxxxx>
<44D5BA69A4AF3A458C294028BAD9E5A50B7863@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
which are the Message-IDs for a few of the messages in the "0.99.7
release?" thread. Usually mail clients only include References: for
other emails if you "Reply" to messages in that thread.

I started it as a new thread that simply discusses the Network Sorcery site and ways to possibly improve documentation or at least make folks aware of the site, since I find it useful and maybe others would too.

>> Recently having submitted a protocol dissector and written a wiki page for it, I was reminded of a very handy web site for protocol documentation that I reference quite often, namely http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/Protocol.htm. I think the folks at Network Sorcery did a really nice job at presenting the protocols. The protocols are alphabetized so they're easy to find, they use a common format for describing them, protocols cross-reference each other where applicable, links to relevant RFC's are provided, related SNMP MIBs are mentioned, etc., etc.

Is it possible to mirror that site's content on Wireshark's site? And then as we add new protocols, we could use a similar format? At the very least, provide a link to it from Wireshark?
