Barry, your idea is making me writhe. You're suggesting even more
restraint of trade by the CIX. You're pushing for the CIX to take
control of what is allowed on the net, you're forcing all providers to
become CIX members, and you're setting up a "water monopoly" situation.
At least when the government regulates what is allowed on the net we
still have some possibility of responding.
