The name of the game is you create it, you set your own rules. The United
States Gov't was involved w/ the Internet before people thought about it

As far as the SOA, someone probably copied and pasted another SOA not
really knowing what they were doing (or copied pasted, saved, modified,
forgot to hit save).
