And David proceeds to tell us why the InterNIC is so great.
Ok, David. Fine They are equipped technically. As you note, of
course, they _have_ to be, they're the InterNIC.
But answer this: why is it that _you_ have to be the one to tell us this?
The major complaint I hear about the InterNIC isn't that they're
arrogant, it's that their a black hole. Or worse, a roach motel:
complaints check in, but they don't check out.
That's exactly the problem I have with them. They need a PR person,
with an extensive background in the culture of the net, and the power
to get things done... and they need one _now_.
