I'd like you to point out the major corporations and public universities who will do this. I'd also like you to immediately return that nice root server that NSI has paid for in part or whole, if you really believe this. Anyone trying to take "COM" and point it somewhere else will find that they have created a class-action lawsuit with 1,000,000 plaintiffs -- all the people who you instantly disconnect that have COM domains. Anyone trying to STEAL NSI's COM zone (to appropriate it as their own) will likely find themselves on the wrong end of a monstrous lawsuit, not to mention potential felony theft charges.
NSI does not own the root domain .com .org .net or any other TLD. They were *hired* by the NSF to manage the registration of domain names for these TLDs, and they have done a deplorable job. They are now being fired, if anyone is opening themselves up for a class action suite it is NSI for not relinquishing property that they have no legal right to claim as their own. Sheese!!! I wondered back in '78 how no-nothing dim witted liberal arts majors would ever find a way to make money on the Net, now I know... They all became Lawyers. geoffw Virtual Sites www.v-site.net - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
