Re: Re: [ga] Re: [icann-europe] ICANN, VRSN, ORG: please, let get real.

What are you arguing with me about here?

Yes absolutely, we are only playing with this configuration.

All countries should be preparing and beta and alphaizing seperate roots.

The up NICS are dinosaurs and we only use them through convenience as still 
most use dotCOM.

I do not care and I assume you do not care.

ICANN and any failure they may cause is just not that important.  We have 
absolutely no loyalty to this system anymore than we have loyalty to 
McDonalds hamburgers.  Hey it sucks and/but it is working right now.
I do not care which system we use as long as I can get connectivity to a 
Mekong Doctor fixing a childs disease and/or sell things on the Internet.

For the folks that rely on me - {god save them} - We are up and ready with 
routes around the ICANN problem.  In fact when and if they crash and burn 
we will do better because we follow yours and Jims' advice.

Any idiot that is basing their future on ICANN and this lame experimental 
system deserves whatever disaster befalls them.

With that said, hey! for right now they sell the cheapest, quickest most 
disgusting but popular burger in town.
