That's your opinion Kent, and I don't agree and neither, according
to a quote, does Paul Mockapetris.
I know who I'm going to agree with :-)
Any serious student of nameing systems used on the
Internet has seen the "control freaks" vs. "the anarchists"
argument happen over and over again - this is not new.
I'm sorry you're annoyed Kent, but I'm confident in the
net's ability to route around damage - as it always does.
