[Don Brown <donbrown_l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The fact of the matter is that this list lost its value when ICANN
adopted the so-called 'blueprint' or, to state it more appropriately
I think, the 'divide and conquer doctrine.'

The cohesiveness and participation is long destroyed in favor of the
Dyson promoted ALAC, or whatever the exact acronym it may be these days.
So, folks tried to start splinter groups, which are more easily
controlled by the King, ICANN.  It's not difficult to understand or to
realize the result.

However, this list still has some value. For instance, I read about
Eric, Hugh, Dr or whatever label he chooses to use, saving the
proverbial Damsel in distress with his superlative Karate kick and
then standing on the adversary's throat while negotiating options with
the adversary's colleagues. Then, of course, I also read the posts
from the spokesman of the 3-kalllion member strong group and from none
other than the horse, itself.  What's a day without sunshine?

Comic relief? - sometimes and more times than not. Constructive and on
topic - almost never.

John was much more realistic and accurate. Although, he was much less
patient than I. However, in John's case, too, 'each to his own . . .'

The sword cuts both ways.  You just can't choose the cut when it suits
you - unless you are earnest in the attainment of hypocrisy.
Although, I'd respect your choice, none the less.

Thanks,
