Re: [ga] Analysis of Atlantic Root .BIZ Registrations to Date

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

Wrong.  The dates reflected in the POSSR registration system are 
stamped via that system.  There were registrations manually 
entered before the automated system (during the early summer) 
and re-entered after lauch of the online system.  As I posted to the 
web board at Berkman, the research is flawed.  .BIZ was never a 
toy and I completely resent that.  The fact that registrations picked 
up after the formal launch of an online system only proves that it 
had more visibility and was therefore more inviting.  It would not 
have mattered if there were 10 or 10,000 registrations.  FYI:  The 
oldest registration was shortly after we took over management.

I suggest you read my reponse to the reasearch on the Berkman 
web board.  It's really a shame that we were not consulted 
regarding the mining of the whois and publication of personal 
identifying information on a website.  It is also a shame that we 
were not consulted for facts either.

Mischaracterizations are not facts.
