Re: [wg-c] breaking up (names) is hard to do

Actually not - if you take a look at the information required to book a
flight, it actually gets more complex. Additionally, according to their SEC
filings, their transaction volume blows away NSI.

Regardless, we both agree that the "NSI Nine" is an unrealistic number. As
far as I'm concerned they can suck or blow, but not both. However, this
whole line of reasoning is probably better placed on DNSO-Registrar's
mailing list...
