Re: [ga] censorship among root servers

["John Palmer" <jpalmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what happens when you rely on one root server network. This kind of 
thing is bound to happen. 

If you were using WorldRoot (http://worldroot.net) or PublicRoot 
(http://www.public-root.com), you would
not be having so many problems.

My posse and I and Herman and his group of engineers have been providing 
alternatives for years,
in spite of Joe's best efforts to destroy our work. 

We're still here.

Our roots are still available.

And we have many more TLDs than ICANN.

Try lion-mail.net yet? You should. Works like a charm.

Cheers,
John

          Is it possible that this censorship and suppression of the people is 
a good thing for the rest of us?  
         


  Hugh - we don't yet know what happened. And ICANN has been silent. It could 
be anyone behind this. I have seen some supporting evidence claiming it was the 
Chinese. But I won't put much reliance on that evidence. The claim is that a 
gateway in China did this. We know the Chinese run their own root independent 
of ICANN. Maybe this was just an accident and a faulty gateway leaked the China 
DNS. It could be anything.
