perfect quote.  i'm saving this.  Jefsey is dead on here.  i completely
agree that icann has mystified the dns.  it only goes to show that if you
throw in a few babbling bureacrats, some storming techs and of course an
ignorant user base - which in internet years is still masturbating and
barely pass the teen years - you can pass anything off.

i've been going on about this charade for years.  while ester polyester
dyson was selling the lot of you a load of crap i was quoting lincon

... you man fool most of the people most of the time - but ya can't fool
all of them all of the time.  was no one listening ??? i guess not.

well thats the way it is folks.  the only trick to the dns is that the
only dns which will work is the dns that allows for edge control - i.e.
user control.  thats you folks.  surprise your in charge and ya didn't
even know it.  maybe it's time to stop masturbating and get down to some
serious work.  le me know if your interested.

exactly - and it's a control monopoly based on ignorance.  lets not forget
that dns packages are distributed with the usg data in cache.  there
should be a warning placed on these packages that other systems exists.
so it's a false monopoly based on convention.

can you find that for me.  i've gone to the icann site but seems they have
buried it.
