The Internet has always consisted of peer-to-peer hosts.  It seems odd
that people talk about peer-to-peer as a new feature.

...and are there similarities with those basic assumptions and those
people expected from the .com/.net domains?

For either case, have you (the collective recipients of this email)
thought both long and hard about those two issues.  Are your beliefs
about each compatible?
