RE: [ga] President Younger's Independence Day Address to the World
Jim:
I can afford it because I sold the ISP Internet access division of my
company to a public company some time ago. I pay my own expenses, I
guess you'd say it is 'pro bono'.
The VI registry is a small registry, and is closed at the second level
to locals only. Financially, it operates under a subsidy.

Peter,
In my opinion, I think you might want to focus on the money, as
suggested by Chuck Gomes.
Can you explain where all of the money flows in the Domain Business ?
In most MLMs- Multi-Level-Marketing organizations, people have some
sense for where the money flows.
As a starting point, how can you afford to "jet set" around the world
all year ? What are the gross revenues from the .VI Registry you run ?
