Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:
I abandoned them a long time ago, but the big question is, how can we get rid of them as root servers operators? Sounds like time to push for more independent servers, and a truly separate company to handle the root server portion of .com/.net. They could still exist as a registrar, but with these kind of business practices, how long? Probably not very, so I'd expect them to fight it tooth and nail.
Point out to Herr Ashcroft that they are "supporting pron" by selling domain names. Or have pictures of their lobbyist passing out money to GOP HillCritters. Failing that, rotsaruck. They have the money to spread around. Hmm, here's an idea -- can we play them off against the $cientology Cult somehow? That would be a good T-Rex vs Raptor fight to watch! -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz () nrk com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
