Root Name Server Confederations

Warning.  I am on a RANT.  Hit D now.

I ask those assembled to consider the total list of Jim Fleming's
supposed root name servers.  Though he got many of the names wrong,
please note that EVERY NAME IS FROM THE iana NAMESPACE.  Jim knows
something he's not telling, which is that if you advertise a service
using a non-IANA name, NOBODY ON THE INTERNET CAN REACH IT.

There are not collections of different root name servers that you can
pick from according to whim.  There is one set of root name servers
and if you point at anything else you had better have a staff of
experts standing by to pick up the fragments of your business afterward.

These people are confidence men.  If they can get you to believe in
their view of reality, you'll hand over your wallet.  But there is only
one actual reality and it will kick your a**, and theirs, every time,
unless you pay close attention.
