Re: [ga] Liberalism versus Conservatism

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

  Your right of course here Eric. I cannot, nor did not see what this
fellows
complaint has to do with Liberalism versus Conservatism in the use
of the term "Herr".  Further I don't see that this subject area has any
relevance to Domain name or DNS issues what so ever...  FWIW,
Liberalism versus Conservatism are often times very blurred or
intertwined, IMHO...  It is clear, and has been for some decades
now, that Americans at least are centrists by in large.  They share
values and interspection with some traditional liberal ideas and some
conservative ideas.
