Wow, you are comparing a nobody like me to a person like Dr. Metcalfe, I =
am honored, though I don't even start to think that I even compare to=20
him in any way, thus why you come up with that comparison? Just amazing.
That said, 'destroying' is not 'death at 11', also I am not so silly to=20
do bets on things. Nice try, but it doesn't work for me. I guess you=20
better stick to the lurking.
As for destroying the Internet, it is going to work out that way, as the =
=2Ecom as we know it won't exist any more, and most people only think=20
".com" when they think Internet. Then again they also only know WWW and=20
nothing else, which is why I really don't like this DNS change which is=20
already solved with search engines.
