Michael - you've been in this for too long.  It's time for some
perspective.  I've seen your presentation in Berlin (Singapore - I think),
and you have a just reason.  In other words your ok.  But your wasting
valuable time here.  I have no dispute with you on your opinion and
position.  I personally think it's appaling a junior at the institute can
command such authority.  But Michael - you wasting your time.

Only a few people here care about what you have to say - and you've
already waltzed with them before.  The rest don't care.  From what I can
tell this is the ISOC script - except god died somewhere on the route to
icann heaven.  At the very worst, the rumours have it ester is a CIA pr
agent and Roberts is military intellegence.  I personally could not care
one iota.  Being here is like watching family incest - it's very
disturbing.

Michael, your a well spoken individual - who desearves a wider audience.
God's given you a talent - he gave you a mouth and he gave you a brain.
Using them here is like opening up a swiss bank account - negative
interest.

And I say all of this with the kindest of intentions.  People are upset
with ICANN - no problem - let's stop waltzing and get down to the business
of making a difference.  We need an effective military assault.

Jeff Mason
