Re: [ga] Fwd: WARNING: Interland and Network Solutions STEALING your domain customers

[Sotiris Sotiropoulos <sotiris@hermesnetwork.com>]

Jeff! that was priceless... your sending this note along to the ICANN Board made me
laugh out loud!  Ha!

Whatever anyone may say about you Jeff Williams, I believe you to be the Patron Saint of

the Internet.  No one puts in so much for so little!  I will paint your icon:  instead
of having you astride a white charger like St. George fighting the dragon, you're
sitting in an ergonomic task chair battling the beast with your email client's Address
Book!!!

I thought I would indulge in a moment of levity, please don't take any personal offense.
