    Debabelizing the Troll

    So to deal with the IETF.ISOC conspiracy we have to work as hard and as smart as we can. So we should hang around ICANNWatch spewing out reams of off-topic drivel and that'll stop them in their tracks.

    You've got to give the troll credit for working hard, unfortunately subtracting the smart credit we wind up at .Net less than zero. Surely we are all doomed. -g

    "that'll stop them in their tracks"

    Nothing will stop the ISOC or ICANN, they are funded for life, like ARIN. All you can do is contain them
    and prevent them from doing more harm to netizens.

    It is very similar to what is going on down in
    GITMO with the Taliban. Put them in rooms and let
    them recite RFCs and their holy books to each other.

    Do not route their sub-nets to netizens who want
    a good .NET experience and a wide range of services. The narrow minds are contained in the
    ISOC, ICANN, and ARIN forums.

    "Surely we are all doomed" at least in Canada

    "Surely we are all doomed" at least in Canada

    Canada has no bandwidth to the USA for serious
    broadband services. Canadian IP address blocks
    no longer need to be routed. Check out the FCC's
    decisions, helping to kick Canadians out of the
    U.S. telcos.
