Patrick, I'd thank you *not* to make broad generalizations.  I happen to be an
OpenSRS reseller, and until now, read most of your missives with an open mind.
I'd suggest you also open yours.  Or should I espouse my opinion that all people
named "Patrick" have an IQ of less than 63?  I think not - I won't stoop to your
level.  As to my "opposition to Joop", again you make wild assumptions.  Without
any basis in fact.

Just a note here: I had no idea that WXW was an OpenSRS reseller until just
recently - long after I got involved in the ga/IDNO.

How?  Why can't we be, besides being domain name holders, be advocates for
our clients?

Well, Patrick, keep pissing in this sandpit and I'm sure *many* will be
happy to leave.  I'm sure WXW can answer for himself, but I'll answer
your question for myself.  I'm involved in the ga/IDNO because it's about the
only game in this town.  Should there be an ISS ("Intermediate Supplier
Stakeholders" [-rwr]) constituency?  Maybe.  I'm sure not opposed to a
move toward this.  But why can't we (resellers) play in the same sandpit
that you do?  I don't see the conflict.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

-Hugh
