Re: FW: [ga-roots] TLD's

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

I am very interested in this discussion.  Would someone be so kind as to enlighten
me and the rest of us dotcommoners as to what the mission statement is of the TLDA
=== don't worry I can read and find like all of us, I am looking for the why
behind the reason the farmer planted such a seed. I have come to the conclusion
that when Danny Younger so viciously attacked Corliss during the election, over
the TLDA, that he did it out of correct conclusions drawn on ignorance.  Now he
has appeared to be educated for he is obviously a great supporter of Corliss and
the TLDA.  Would someone so educate me and the rest of us dotcommoners?

Pleadingly,
