: Just to clarify things: liability is limited for members (as in
: most corporate forms) NOT for the association (Verein) itself.

 In other words the members, all
 businesses have set up a front
 organization which is tax free
 and limits their liability. It
 alos places them out of practical
 reach of lawsuits since we would
 be forced into Swiss courts to
 contest anything. Functionally
 this eliminates any recourse for
 99% of people actually using the
 Namespace. Another reason CORE
 needs to be sabotaged. And soon.

 These drunken back slappers like
 Schnieder and Abril i Abril make
 me sick to my stomach. They pretend
 everything is set when all is very
 much up in the air. Fortunately.
 When will the US government wake
 up and put an end to all this
 nonsense? Soon I hope... as for
 this being an unreasoned response
 sometimes "bugger off" is the only
 appropriate reply. Al? You awake?
 They're making off with the Internet
 and all you can do is snooze?
