Sorry.....forget it it.....esther had yet another opportunity to give Dave
farber the courtesy of a response.... she sat on her throne and responded
instead to jeff williams....
I was hoping for a surprise yesterday given farber's commendable action.
if there were ever an opportunity for a turning point this was it and it
looks to me like she missed it....
deal's done. the IANA employees are effectively working for naval captain
mike roberts now and I am getting very interesting reports of the orders
capatin mike is giving his sailors.
if i were don teleage every evening after counting my blessing for the NSI
stock close i would read the EFF green paper comments. those are the
people who are in charge.
