I think you misunderstand the mechanism used in this case.  This one
had nothing to do with the root zone (but we always seem to come back
to it, for some reason).

I thought it was a perfectly valid piece of info to

probably true(about the backbiting), but if everyone on this list
posted everything that they came across which was somehow to do with
IG, well, I suspect we would all unsubscribe.  Suresh is right, fwding
random things without editorial content is, well, annoying.

Of course, I have a haiku for this thread as well;

Bush. Censorship. Wow.
IGF can stop this how?
Sovereignty. Sucks.
