U.S. rejects Net name plan By Margie Wylie May 2, 1997, 5:45 p.m. PT "The U.S. government, however, took a neutral stance on the proposition until today. "We are explicitly saying that we are not supporting the ad hoc committee's plan in its current form," a member of the White House's interagency task force on domain names said today" <http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,10345,00.html> I hardly call this a hearty endorsement, Dave. Perhaps this is what Mockapetris meant when he said "both sides are guilty of half truths". This article is less than a month old, and you are spouting just the opposite as fact ? Shame. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Arrgh matey's. Respectfully submitted, one of the "pirates", who would lke to see and is willing to committ infrastructure to subsidize free SL domain names. Sue me. Yes, yes, I can hear it now: "But $100 is not unresonable for any business to get thei rown domain name" and ONCE AGAIN i point out, it's more than jus business that uses the net. -- "You can tell the Internet pioneers, because they're the ones with the bullet holes in their feet." - BKR
