Can't agree, honestly.  First it's an issue with New.net's drive to expand its
operations.  Secondly, many people will keep bringing it up if .biz gets
approved and operational.  Thirdly, there is going to have to be a debate
about MultiBind.  Fourthly, we need to consider multilinguals but this is a
diversion for many, if not most, on the main mailing list.    Finally I don't
see why we ought not to discuss the competition - Pepsi does !!

The whole issue really needs to be shunted off to a separate mailing list
somewhere.  Otherwise it will keep coming back to haunt the main list.

I know I have an interest in this topic but that's just good common sense.

Best regards
