[ga] Re: CA-IDNO Current Status

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Karl and all,

  Although this post may seem to be an honest effort in effecting
a "NEW" Individual Domain Name Owners organization it should be
understood clearly that Karl and his "ADOR" attempted to take over
the IDNO some time ago.  It is may also be in the interest of those
whom received this post from Karl, that Bridgecompanies.com is
Karls own web site, and not one that belongs to, or is a part of
any group of Domain Name holders/Stakeholders.

  In addition as spokesman and an observer of the IDNO as well
as a guest on the IDNO ML it has been observed that Karl, along
with a tiny minority of other IDNO members harassed and engaged
in incessant personal attacks against Joop Teernstra on the IDNO ML,
the DNSO ML and several other ML forums for many months in a
concerted effort to discredit Joop Teernstra, in a very unfair, unjust
and horrible manner.
