Believe me or not, I saved this message and deleted all the others for
about a month.

This doesn't mean I agree with him. I will not change my DNS pointer, I
will not register a domain name from them. I visited their website, just
once and that's all. But at least he talked about domain names, that
matters, right?

Voting rules are important, we should talk about them, but we should talk
about domain names, too. Did anyone suggest a proposal about domain names?

Let's focus our topic. If something is not related to domain names, we may
need not to post it. If something is related to domain names, even it may
offend someone, we still should say it.

Can anyone tell me why you think ADNS will not succeed?

Thanks.
