three things.

1. there is definitely some confusion here.  my f (root-servers.net) was
   lame (which is not fatal to resolvers who query it).  NSI's f (gtld-
   servers.net) was insane (which was fatal to resolvers who queried it.)

2. my F is not a volunteer.  f.root-servers.net is a funded activity of ISC.
   if my F is "volunteer" than every nameserver everywhere is a "volunteer."

3. holtzman has some other axe he's grinding, this is all smokescreening.
   if i could just stop worrying about that, i could start being insulted
   by his wierd comments here and elsewhere.
