Of course he (and NSI as a whole) has an axe to grind...they want to
dominate the Net the way MS does the desktop. Anything that might be
interpreted as incompetence on their part might scare the suckers who buy
their stock AND raise doubts in the minds of the folks who are allowing
them such a leading role in ICANN.
Public exposure of their frequent screwups would lead reasonable people to
think that they shouldn't be allowed near the Internet, which would hurt
their plans. Ergo, any mistakes are someone else's, not theirs.
Of course, an official explanation from NSI might disprove this theory, but
I've got money that says one isn't forthcoming (at least not a believable
one). Right now, NSI's credibility ranks right up their with Saddam
Hussein's.
Spammers should be investigated by Ken Starr!
