 Alternately what happens when my
 rights are demolished by CORE and
 I have no recourse of any kind?
 What happens when Switzerland
 takes the kind of covert actions
 in this regard as it seems to have
 done in relation to funds deposited
 by Jewish families previous to and
 during World War Two? What happens
 if legitimate Domain Name Registries
 such as Internic, Alternic and others
 are frozen out of the process to 
 create some successor monopoly to
 Internic and Network Solutions?

 No answers eh Kent? Never any answers.
 Only more back peddling and diversionary
 tactics. You must have a fine position
 awaiting you somewhere in Silicon Valley.
 I remember the last IANA/IAHC apologist
 Mr. Dillon got pastured pretty well 
 after his tour of disinformation was
 over. Enjoy the clover Daisy.
