It's not amazing, Adam.
That's life. Regardless of what people complain about, life takes 
place, while they are complaining. I still ask each of the people who 
complain here: what have you done in your own country with regards to 
the Internet governance - IP address allocation and Domain Name 
System. And I quickly add: I've done my homework in Bulgaria, let's 
see what you've done. Because it seems some of the people complaining 
are good in theory, but have never implemented that theory to real 
conditions. It's one thing to say what you want to do, it's different 
to be able to do it, and it's even more different to actually do it.
