Ok. I'm just a small-edge-networks weenie; IANAI, or anything else big like all that. So I usually try to listen more than I talk. But it seems to me that Paul, you are here espousing the opinion that there's no business value in people being able to trust that the domain name they heard on a TV ad and typed into a browser (let's ignore phishing for the moment) actually takes them to E-Trade, and not RBN. Am I misunderstanding you? Cause I see business value in trying to perpetuate that condition. I don't say it's easy to sell to suits. But that doesn't make it unnecessary. I also don't say it's the only way to guarantee that trustability. But what else have you? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
