Cute, but we both know that you are avoiding the point. Here's the point, in three sentences: a. There is very little than can be done about companies providing substandard service, or even screwing you over, when they have a monopolistic stranglehold on you. b. In your "eDNS" model, registrars have this stranglehold on you, because you you cannot switch to the services of a newer (better) registrar without having to also change domain names. c. With the IAHC plan, if a registrar is providing unsatisfactory service, you can switch registrars, while keeping the same domain name. -SteveK -- Steve Kann i/o 360 digital design 841 Broadway, Suite 502 PGP 1024/C0145E05 F2 D6 24 83 9E 52 9A 61 AA BB 97 61 5C A1 B8 CE Personal:stevek () SteveK COM Business: stevek () io360 com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
