I am hosted by several different organizations. Richard does my dns.
Also it was not spam. the SOA's exists for the sole purpose of checking
accuracy, and as I said - the dns is a mess. Paul ?-{
I did the exact same thing Jon Postel used to do, make certain things were
working right. And - out of 20,000 emails, at most I got 6 spam
complaints, and maybe 100 protests. Basically one can confirm that 0.5 %
of those people who were contacted considered it spam. Peanuts - those
people are the hardened vixie vixens - no big deal.
I'll be publishing all the kudos I got. Not all 250 of them, all glowing
with praise and thanks that finally someone did something about the mess.
I'm very happy with the project - despite all the obstacles - mainly vixie
land obstacles, things went remarkably well.
And IcaNN got a good kick in the balls. I remember having mason tell the
group that the trick to icann was not in getting rid of the directors -
but making them jump to the music. Well - we saw alot of jumping at this
past meeting - and i assure you, the boards going to dance and sing before
too long. Things went very well indeed.
Cheers
Joe
