John and all my friends, Thank you John, I believe your correct! However there are some folks that have a need to have absolute control or wish to keep their heads in the sand and eyes closed when they shouldn't. Not much anyone can say to reverse of correct that attitude, but we must be realistic it exists and is sometimes prevalent. Kieren strikes me as one of the above loosely described folks... Shame that... BTW, these sort of folks with such an attitude usually go through life until the bitter end, largly blind and deaf to the world they live in and subsequently clueless.. Such also largly seems to be a stalworth with ICANN and many times Governements or government agencies... Also a terrible and sometimes dangerous shame as well... However that all said, I believe Churchill had it right when dealing with these sorts of folks when he uttered: "throw the rascals out"! However I prefer the basic: "Your Fired!" But than again, I'm an American. >:) Regards, Spokesman for INEGroup LLA. - (Over 277k members/stakeholders strong!)

Surely ALAC can agree on some standards for acceptable posting?
ALAC has its problems, but I don't believe that we find the lack of a hall monitor to be one of them.
R's, John
