The point is, he is NOT on your side Gordon.  He is very much AGAINST
the very principles you have been fighting for and advocating in this
process for all the years I've been involved.

Read his comments, he has nothing in common with you, Richard, or any
one else with even a small commercial interest in the internet.  Any
similarities are window dressing that he is using to promote himself
into some perceived position of power.

He is in the EXACT same philosophical camp as the Haubens, and I KNOW
you don't have anything in common with them.
