Correction: Other than the these two things: 

a) Paul Vixie is a cofounder, chairman and CEO of MAPS LLC and at same
time CTO of MFN (parent of above.net)

b) Dave Rand is a cofounder and executive director of MAPS LLC and at same
time EVP of MFN. 

Don't get me wrong, I like MAPS and I think ORBS/MAPS flamewars are silly.
(And certainly hoping I'm not starting one now). But a little bit of
honesty never hurt anyone, and its a bit disingenious to say that there's
absolutely nothing in common between Above/MFN and MAPS.
