Not only do I think you went over the top quite some emails ago, I sincerely think the nonsense you are writing is starting to get on my nerves, which is never a good thing to do.
Once you understand the "net" and which according to your own words, after 18 years you have been unable to do, and once you have a grasp of namespace, please start to clutter this space again. Until then please refrain from stupidity in extremis on this list, your opinion contradicts itself on almost every email you send. Your "Americanist" approach is close to ignorance and your examples hold little more then proving your own wrongs. You have, in a hell of a to of emails, proven nothing whatsoever, reached a total no-existent point in discussions that could have gone a constructive way. I have my comments on openSRS, ICANN, TLD's and whets more, but I make sure they have a secure foundation. Quoting non-existent rfc's, trying to prove a wrong point without then pinpointing on what rfc's you DO base your extremely biased opinion seems to be to difficult and therefore eludes you completely. PLEASE do me a favour and stop wasting bandwidth and come back when you have something to prove. You have raised to many issues with no ground to even start taking the separate items apart, unless out of all that money you made you pay me for, heck it might be refreshing! On topic: YES VRGS has a way of still abusing it's monopoly by charging exorbitant rates. YES once you have gone past OUR 40 days, of which at least 30 days your website was down, you have to pay these ridiculous fees, PREVENT them. YES who's is a out of context item and as a member of the TF I can and have stated so. NO dot org and dot net are less restricted then you make it, even as planned to be or you have in formation from Postel direct of which I would love to see some proof. Disregarding the fact that in my opinion you entered "the net" in the past 3 years, you are talking a lot of baloney.

There hasn't been any innovation in the phone directory either, because they do what they need to do. > Competitive pressure will change this - further regulation will > perpetuate it. Let me know if I need to be more specific with regards > to the behavior of these markets... Yes, you do. Sometimes a business reaches equilibrium and does all it needs to in a market, and change for the sake of competition destroys it. See the changes in the telecom sector since deregulation. "Competition" has resulted in inferior products from too many suppliers, excess capacity and horrendous infrastructure overspending that a regulated market would have prevented, and ultimately a world that's worse off than we would have been with a single AT&T. And even the alleged price improvements are melting away the way they do in a free market once it matures and consolidates.
