Hi Mr. Nobody.  You seem to be a some body to me.  Nobodies don't make
statements and show emotions :-)

Hey visit http://www.ah.net for details, we cn register lots of domain
names.  There are also other RSC's that will be pleased to help and your
miserly registration and delegation fee paid the the RSC (most times)
doesn't go into someones Bar Fridge but towards improving the Servers and
Internet around the world!

Then you should research the companies you intend dealing with :-)  I'm
serious.  When you buy a house you ask the neighbours how often the yards
flood and which way the water flows, have they had termites in the last few
years, do the druggies hang around the front gate, when was the last
murder, how often tdo the police patrol the area ...

If you buy a product one would expect you know who you are buying it from
and what they are doing with the money in cases xsuch as domain names which
can be created by anyone anywhere anytime.

Hey well PUT!  I'm impressed!  For a nobody you really know how to say things!

>Unless, of course, you guys scare the crap out of us and we lose faith. 

Don't loose faith in whatever process you belive in.  If you belive in gTLD
then stand by it, if you disagree then support the RSC's. (can't belive I
said to stand by the gTLD....)

Just remember that RSC's mostly put the money back into Internet, where as
Registrars put the money in their pockets.

InterNIC and MelbourneIT are two perfect examples of organisations that
take your money to pay their salaries. (Actually that's not entirly true,
InterNIC apparently put it into a Trust account and it sits there doing
nothing.  All $32 million dollars!  That's a lot of Internet Free time!
