That's very creative. Stef.  Perhaps you could point me to the 
hundreds of mail messages from you that are "harshly critical" of NSI?
In all honesty, I don't remember a *single* one.

However, I could easily go through my archives and pull down a random 
sample of 50 or so messages from you that are indeed harshly 
critical of IAHC/CORE/ICANN/IANA etc.  I think, in fact, that the 
objective external observer would say that NSI and ORSC have been in 
bed for some time now.

Of course, everyone will make their own judgement as to whether you
have been more critical of NSI or IAHC/CORE.  But it seems absolutely
crystal clear to me. 

Another point I find quite interesting: I think this example points
out the clear difference in ethical stance between CORE and NSI --
Someone in CORE spent good money to be sure that a critic was
represented; NSI spent good money to stack things in their favor.
