The dns-ok.us site is getting crushed from all the sudden media
interest.

One wonders why it's so hard to get the media interested when it
would be *helpful*. DNS Changer gets traction like 3 days before the
drop dead date, IPv6 gets on the radar *after* we run out of v4 /8's
to give to regionals, etc...

Reactive is easier to justify to the powers that be than proactive.

It's easier to justify *not* being smart enough to deal with the problem
when it doesn't cause a major disruption?

Have we venerated stupidity *that deeply* in the US?
