I direct your attention to my senate testimony, which was moderately
specific, and UDRP work, on my website, which is very specific.  

I think you owe it to your clients and your public to specify when you

Specifically, do you bill for these insulting emails, i.e. do so as
ICANN's lawyer, or is this a private effort?
