[ga] one of those misposting things...

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

I inadvertedly posted the following to the wg-review, instead of this list.
My apologies to those who had to listen to me twice.  Soritis helpfully
pointed out my error in posting to my attention. Here goes, again.

Is there really a need to be so....negative about an individual posting I've
made? I do take offense to the assertion that my postings are about
corporate greed. I spend a lot of time on the list, and do it, often, as you
do, at the expense of other business interests, because i think this is
important.

I don't appreciate at all your last posting. It is also rather
unprofessional... which isn't really like you at all.

William, what Marilyn is not telling us is that
*she* and others like her are worried.  Actually,
it's not really Marilyn per se, she's just another
instrument and mouthpiece for corporate greed, as
is Chuck Gomes and the rest of them.  Don't kill
or maim the messengers, but do examine the
message...  

So, what are they worried about? 

Check out http://www.att.org and see...  The good
rabbis are selling software titles and I'll bet
the upstanding folks at http://www.att.com get no
cut from the proceeds.  If that's not enough,
check out http://www.amazon.org/ and see that
there's no books being sold there... not eve
interest titles!  But, just skip on over to
http://www.nike.org and see what you'll find! 
Surprise, surprise... Do you think Nike will lose
their .ORG, or will ever be unable to meet a
higher payment requirement?  

All of this hoopla for .ORG is just a smokescreen
for the Corporate world to further their
anti-competitive culture/influence in another
TLD... one that most of the biggies initially
overlooked!  But, in the spirit of true NSI
favouritism, Verisign is willing to take up their
fight!  This ploy is transparent.

Not inappropriate... diabolical!

Marc Schneider already has my support.  He's the
first to move on this, let's get behind him and
organize NOW! visit: http://www.disgrace.org

Considering the true motives...

I'm glad you said this, and not I.
