Evan and all my friends,
Somehow I knew you would say pretty close to what you
did say in reaponse. If what your asserting than is so why is the
ALAC Summit seeking ICANN funding? Hogwash indeed?
Humm? Ergo Evan, me thinks you protest too much... This
is not to say that trying to seek such wasn't worth a try! >:)
BTW, hogs don't wash, the wallow! >:)
All this exchange reminds me of another time in my past life,
when once in Paris, I was out walking and found myself in
a rather ceedy area of the city, and a young very attractive
and provocatively dressed young woman approache me
and ask me in good but heavely accented french if I was
interested in some company. I relpied in my best french,
"certainly, I am looking for a good resturante for dinner
and she was welcome to join me and I would buy her
dinner". She replied, "but sir, my price is 100 franks".
So I immediately knew my dashing good looks and kind
offer of a free dinner were not enough of an incentive
for her company. A well, se la vi! So I tossed her a
5 frank piece and wet on my way... >:)
