Your arguments are clearly irrelevant and have no bearing in fact.

Anyone with a good technical background knows that Fleming knows his
business, and indeed his commentary is relevant, unfortunately you have no
idea what hes going on about - I understand - may I recommend you educate
yourself.  Even call him up directly.

Anything on the net is in fact permissible.  Those who know the technology
know how to distribute anything they want.  Spam - child porn - or even
more eclectic porn like old toothless grannies giving blow jobs.  Its all
data.

The issue here is - does Jim have something relevant to say - indeed he
does.  I don't agree with his approach - I think at this time we still
have time to save the DNS.  BUt if that don't work - then Jim ideas are as
relevant as anyone elses.

Jim s after all a recognized professional programmer who knows the
networking field.  His ideas are therefore more relevant then some of the
political idiocy I see here.  But then that my opinion.
