Re: [ga] What makes a corporation?

The wonderful part of what you are saying here is the natural truth to it.  These things
are occuring. Regulation and central control is the farce-witness the Soviet Union as it
were. When we stop growing we die.  Competition is the dynamic that allows us to remain
stable in an ever growing alive internet.  Euro-ISPs will recognize the existing dotbiz to
an overwhelming degree. (citation at request, see ICANN forum)  How can innovation occur
in a stifled environment? It can but what a waste.  Bless the visionaries who said this
must be, and curse the technocrats that prohibited it.

Mr. Williams suggestions here are only steering a sinking ship back on it's manifest
course.

Sincerely, and humbly to be in the cyberpresence of such great people.
