I think NetSol is showing us that trust or distrust should be determined not on the basis of the function that a company provides, no matter how seemingly altruistic, but instead on the controlling interests behind that company. In other words, trusting or distrusting the InterNIC has become totally immaterial because Network Solutions has the ability to make drastic changes at any time -- instead we must decide whether or not to trust Network Solutions. This is becoming political, so I'll stop now. ---------========== J.D. Falk <[email protected]> =========--------- | "Life is a bridge.
