Interestingly, the article continues to indicate that the additional fee is, in fact, a tax, and the NSF's *agent*, Network Solutions, will collect it on the Government's behalf.

Hmm. Well, if NSI is only an agent for NSF, then perhaps they are an agent for the DB as well. What exactly is NSI doing as an agent for the NSF? Administering its records?? Perhaps a point for Karl to bring out in the next letter... :-) --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean@av8.com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
