I think their concern is more general. As you know William the human race
spends most of it's time with it's head up the collective you know

anti icann sentiment is beginning to roll. And that's having it's effect
(finally) on elected officials. But this one is only a side show. It's
going to get better - or worse - depending on ones point of view
