The facts are obvious to everyone. You have been fighting for a long
time for a monopoly on the .web gTLD -- that is a matter of record
ten miles long. I don't think any reasonable person on earth could
deny that fighting for a monopoly on some commodity is an indication
that one is "in it for the possibility of monopoly profits."
I grant you that you might have other motives -- doubtless you want
to be able to donate some of those profits to the boy scouts or needy
children or something -- so my statement that monopoly profits are
your "only" motivation is certainly overbroad. I apologize for that
exaggeration :-)

Indeed, I am not your moral guardian, and I find the very thought
repellant. Nor was I applying for the job.
But Chris, I do indeed know something of your morals...
