RE: [ga] George was right. It's time to close down this list.

Well said Danny!

I asked a similar question some time ago when I first ventured into this
forum.

At that time, I seem to remember, I likened it to a forum for "hitting ICANN
with a big stick" because I couldn't see what the objectives were from the
posts.

Not much has changed over time.

Best regards

Debbie
