Jay,

I doubt that Dave Crocker is red in the face at all.  No-one could
seriously believe that the list was a private one with 86 participants.

The fact that CORE is doing its best to make itself a credible group is not
news, it is to be expected.  A report that responsible members of the US
govt are finding that CORE is a legitimate alternative to a single monopoly
registry can hardly qualify as news either, except perhaps to people who
believe their own propaganda.

This is really "dog bites man".
