  Humility.  I was initially a proponent of FCFS in .com, until
I sat down and Appreciated The Situation.  As usual, I was wrong (:-))
The shared domain approach had far fewer showstopper problems.

  But I don't guarantee I covered all possibilities, and I know
that non-profit domains might have real problems paying for an adequate
7x24 CDB, so I backed out of saying ``X is the only way''.
