Yes. Lauren and Peter.
Yup. I taught Lauren Weinstein to fix broken Unix file systems when he was a summer intern at RAND in 1976. Met Peter at a conference or two. He's kind of excitable, but he generally gets his facts right. Surely it doesn't come as a surprise to anyone that the basic business model for .XXX is a protection racket. R's, John
