Are you speaking with your personal hat on, or as a person contracting for a firm which is busily using its NAP award as a means of developing business plans on the IP front in direct competition with what one could perceive as a captive market?

Sean. (speaking with his personal hat on, and very curious)

Yes, I assume everything you post from clock.org is your personal opinion, but I don't think that will stand up in court. Sean, I'll accept this as a fair question even though it has no bearing on the issue I raised. I don't find your question funny or flip. I speak for myself, as my signature attests, and I am consistent in my point of view. I have a lot of personal stake in the Internet, having spent the last decade working on it. I don't want some Senator deciding that we can't manage our own affairs and I wouldn't want to be a stockholder of any publicly traded company that gets sued by some startup for restraint of trade. I'm quite comfortable about my contribution to this discussion, should my words turn up in court. Tie the cannons to the deck and haul up the sail. Let's see just how far we can take this Internet thing without wrecking it. ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ Kent W.
