  I was wondering how long this would take to make the rounds. This is a 
serious issue. See RFC 2826 http://bit.ly/drkKN8


  ...


  Folks - please remember the servers may have been hijacked. ICANN and China 
may not have been involved. It's easy to hijack IP numbers. I know some people 
over in Amsterdam who hijack IP. It's happened to me.

No it didn't Joe - Herman owns those shares outright. He has every right to use 
them.



    And I hate to rub everyones nose in it - but if this in fact did happen and 
facebook users were redirected - then it proves my point. To be secure one 
should operate their own root servers. 




Or use WorldRoot - http://worldroot.net.
