        Normally I'd agree with you, Randy...but it is my considered
        opinion that ICANN's apparent goals do not bode well for the
        continued growth of the Internet.  If anybody would like to
        hear why I feel that way, contact me off-list, since arguing
        about domain stuff has long been considered inapropriate for
        this mailing list (right, Randy?)
