Oh please, Marc.  I know you are an alt.root advocate, but you are one
of the most reasonable ones, surely you can recognize that Lynn was
spot on right in this article, and that the reason for this "protest"
is clearly because the registries want to attack ICANN for doing the
right thing with regard to the WLS.

I know you hate ICANN, and I understand why, but come on, I know you
can be reasonable, and you have to see that here.
