Dave Hendon can go screw as long as the F-root server lives in Paul Vixie's living room (I once used one of the 13 most important computers on the internet as a foot stool!).
Sorry, that wasn't supposed to be so long, but given all the other insanity going on today in internet governance (Level 3 and Cogent are de-peering each other, and sucking others into the fight) I've been thinking a bit about what changes can and can't really make my life suck, and the government just can't pull it off without the cooperation of the packet slingers. I think the people who fear the US government hijacking the internet haven't been paying attention to all the other reasons to fear my country right now, and the people who think they could hijack it first are sadly mistaken.
