Debbie and all,

  One good thing does seems to have come out of all this.  That is
that now ICANN has no excuse for not having their web pages
avaliable in Swahili.  >:)  I wonder how many years it will take them
to get that actually accomplished?  But I am sure you would prefer
that ICANN get their web pages up in Welsh first, eh?  >:)
