Re: [ga] A Monroe Doctrine for the Internet

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

Some of my remarks below will in part be off topic or non related to the

subject line..

Very good questions here Chris.  However those directed at aid from
the US to other countries is off topic and in no way related to
a "A Monroe Doctrine for the Internet" which is the subject line for
this thread

Andy Gardner has been a heckler for several years on this and other
forums discussing ect. the internet.  Some of his analogy's have
actually
been very good and on topic.  Andy of course has made it abundently
clear on more than one occasion that he doesn't like me much.  That's
fine wit me.  I don't hold it against him and especially respect his
right to exercise his opinion regardless of his style...But I personally

care little about style but do care allot about substance.  Hence I
tolerate Andy's style as sometimes his substance is relevant to the
subject line or Thread.  However this was not one of those
instances.
