Actually, I would not care to comment on the Name.Space application.  This is not the forum for such debate (which is over for the time being).  Nor am I responsibvle for the delusions of others.  If Name.Space wants to insist the sky is green, that is their problem.  I will not let it be mine.

Not to anyone who read the application.
