So CORE screwing 70-80% is Okay? Get real!

 So... 70%, eh? And then you have 
 to add in the traditional 10% more
 for Canadian .COM/.NET/.ORG domain
 holders. So you propose CORE screws
 80% of Internic's clientelle as a
 viable solution? That is absurd.

 There is no way I am in any way
 prepared to deal with a Swiss head
 office when the current Virginia
 model takes months to settle the
 smallest DNS problem. No matter
 what you or anyone else may say
 the so-called legacy domains stay
 put here in North America. Fucking
 period, fucking end of discussion.
 
 If CORE or any other group wants
 to offer their own wacky handful
 of Domain Name solutions fine. If
 CORE seeks to re-monopolize the
 Namespace by absconding with .COM
 and everything else I predict the
 only thing left of CORE x weeks
 from now will be a virtual smoking
 crater. All this lunatic talk from
 Crocker about POC/CORE regulating
 all new and existing Top Level Domains
 must immediately cease if the businesses
 that invested in CORE are not to lose
 their shirts entirely. If the Crocker
 path continues to be followed I believe
 the gravest of consequences must fall
 from the USG heavans to smoteth CORE
 down to sizeth.

 My best advice to the score of CORE
 businesses - including those six
 registrars in Canada - is to terminate
 Crocker and his ilk as spokespeople
 and representatives ASAP. Because what
 they are proposing is a monopoly that
 will be smashed into a million bits
 by US and other anti-trust laws not
 to mention government policy that
 PROMOTES not oppresses free competition.
 If you people *ever* want to see your
 $10,000 again silence Dave and his
 hapless, reckless band of zealots.
 And install people who are able and
 willing to deal with the idea of
 free competition, open negotiations
 and consensus building.
