Exactly, David.  As a serious participant you should not make false statements
when you say "essentially no attention to the key contract differences that
matter".  It is clear that every aspect possible has been discussed in detail.

To be "adequately educated", you might read the results of the month of careful
analysis before you get carried away with your own sense of self-importance:

DNSO Input on Proposed VeriSign Agreement Revisions (28 March 2001)
http://www.icann.org/melbourne/dnso-input-verisign-revisions-28mar01.htm

I was going to copy it to this post but there was so much "careful analysis", I
thought it would not be appropriate.  Others on the list can easily judge.

Yes, David.  And, as you know, they include many of the world's leading
authorities.  Fortunately, most of the others declare any interests openly.
