  Exactly the right attitude.  As we use to say in the USMC
"Never fear Kilroy is here!"

  ROFLMAO!  How likely true!

  Ah yes, and the reserved long for the days of AL Gore and
Bill Clinton.  But they are gone now.  So the reserved now
have to live with the regular speaking yet still informed folks
on the net.  Ain't that a dam shame now!  >;)

  Yeah they (Nuelevel) want .ORG pretty bad along
with the ISOC dogs.

  YEah an we just had another one of Thomas's
"Announcements" regarding a new twist of dealing
with Delete issues, which I brought up some time
ago now here, for the TTF.  A bit late, but I suppose
better than never.

  Verisign is in trouble anyway.  Have you read their
stock reports lately?  They can't sell their core product
line "Security" very well.  No surprise there!

  And one can also hear Vint Cerf, "I need to keep
my ICANN Job".  WCOM's debt rating just went to
Junk status a few days ago and their stock in the
dumpster.  Institutional buyers won't touch it.

  One can also hear Marilyn Cade, also singled
out in Thomas's "Announcement" on the WLS/TTF,
"hay I need a boost to" AT&T after nearly unprecedented
5- to-1 reverse stock split still could not boost their
stock price much...
So I guess one has to wonder if such "Top Dogs"
really have a clue?  I think clearly not.  Their just
"Dogs".

  There was never anything super about it in the first place.
Many of us knew this early on...  But the Olgelvy PR
bought them some time.  Pity that they wasted that
time, and did so badly.

  It's past time to let the "Smart Dogs" have a go!  >;)
