	That's right, in TV ads...

	"Network Solutions activates more dot com domains than
 any other ISP"....."use Network Solutions, the dot com people."

	This actually raises an operational concern.  A little
traceroute will show you that www.networksolutions.com and
the worldnic stuff are down the same pipes as the internic.net
stuff.  With the DNS problems of the past few days, one has
to ask, would "internic" activities have worked just fine if
Network Solutions had not been using some {small,large} amount
of the bandwidth for their other commercial activities.

	Not that I hold out any hope of the two activities using
separate facilities, but it would be nice.
