So you say.  If it was that easy, then why hasn't it been done, Chris?

If it is so easy DO IT and stop talking about it.

The ONLY way they will get legitimacy is to go after the visibility
share.

I told Sexton and company that years ago, and as recently as 2 months
ago.

I was told that the only thing they needed was to be "technically
right" and that they didn't need marketing or PR.  I believe a recent
EXACT quote from Sexton to someone else telling him the same thing was
"we don't need money, we have servers and a monopoly of the clues."

So it seems your friends in the alt.root community don't share your
view.

As long as the alt.roots can't even achieve 1% visibility (with the
exception of new.net, whom is considered a pariah by the other
alt.roots), even if you combine them, then yes, there is ONE system.

Until they do something to deserve recognition as anything beyond the
hobby that they have appeared to be (and act like) that is the simple
fact of life.

If it is so easy to beat ICANN, Chris, then why are you wasting time
here and not out there doing it?  Or why aren't your alt.root friends?
