Tony loves to do this.  To take someone and go to their domain, and
check their whois, and try and find SOMETHING they can use to
trivialize them, in the hopes that their LEGITIMATE
comments/criticisms of NSI will not be taken seriously.

We have seen this numerous times just this year alone.

As recently as last week, as a matter of fact.

Spare us Tony.

What especially stinks is the underlying tone with regard to people
who hold and use .US domains, and what interest they could possibly
have in this process.

I'm beginning to lose more and more respect for you, Tony, as your
resort to such petty tactics to avoid issues and defend your client.
