I agree, 100%.

Its also amazing how being squashed by a government-initiated non-profit
corporation also just might lead somebody not to trust them very much. (I am
one of those people) Its amazing how after being squashed, that you get angry
and want your say in what happens in your own life, and in organisations that
control a great deal of what might happen in your own life. I am one of those
people that rarely participate in the ridiculous arguments on this list. But I
am here. I care. I used to be uninformed, but that is changing now that I am
paying attention. :)

Mr. Crispin needs to check his quote. To do and to be are not synonyms. In
Twain's own handwriting: http://www.twainquotes.com/Lonesome.html

This is the 'Do good' Twain quote : "Do good when you can, and charge when you
think they will stand it."  Somehow its more appropriate, from his assertations
about ICANN's purpose.

all the best, Robin
