Re: [ga] DNS Stressed From Financial Maneuverings

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dr. Dierker and all,

  Nothing at all wrong or bad about making money.  I am and
always have been a very strong capitalist.  What IS wrong
in respect to what this article rightly indicates, is that in any
strong capitalist society, putting "making money" for the sake
of expediency and before stability, is a fools game and therefore
both dangerous use of a mechanism, and is rarely long term,
a money making practice or policy. In the stability of a artificially
imposed stressing of the DNS as a priority over stability and
security for all other DNS users is not a sound practice and/or
policy.
