That is *REALLY* rich coming from someone who used to work for New.net, a private company that has attempted to steal (yes, that's the correct word) exclusive control of numerous TLDs without even a pretense of community consensus. It makes your argument seem disingenuous at best. As to your larger point: the fact that not everyone who participates in the process gets his way doesn't necessarily mean the process is rigged. Another possibility is that his opinion is in the minority. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Mathews, Tiger Technologies http://www.tigertech.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- "He was the most even tempered man in the Navy.
