Re: First? TRUE Root Name Server On Line

Kind sir, I have been a netizen for 10 years and a network administrator
for an ISP for 4 years.  The thing that -you- don't understand is the
-millions- of people flocking to the net could care one little iota about
what a root nameserver is.  The only thing they care about is getting to
www.toyota.com that they heard about on television.

And I feel quite certain that www.toyota.com isn't going to turn into
www.toyota.earth which means that the people that matter and the people
that cause the change -- our users -- will never know that you exist.

Have a very pleasant day.

 And I have serious doubt you understand
 any of the millions of people now rushing

 transfer of Internet to television and smart
 box is completed your roles as info-czars
 will be finished. By clueless people like me.

 Your gang is treading on thin ice now. Very
 thin, cracking ice with the sun coming out.
