I find that there are two kinds of behavior from people who disagree. Some
try to call you names and others try to psych you out of continuing to try
because they are afraid you might succeed. I think that Harald fell 
into this last category with his remarks about "silly waste of money". 

I will not be deterred by him or anyone else. 

Yes, it is indeed unfortunate. I expect the next thing to happen is that
my posting privileges to this list will mysteriously disappear just like 
they did for several other people whose opinions differed from the ICANN
politburo. 

We shall see....
