Jeff,

Does this really have any relevance to the AP region?  
I know that you believe that as a Top Level Domain of something
other than .au, you believe that Telstra is in the wrong.  I
believe the entire population reading this list understands 
what you are trying to say, but I, as a member of this region,
can say that I don't appreciate this boring rhetoric that has
gone on for the past few days. 

If your going to make a point, consider it made and end it.
If you have a beef with Geoff Houston, please take it up 
with him and off-line.  I can say that he has done a lot
of good for the community out here and we don't perceive
it as "bait and switch games..."

Thanks for ending the discussion on this.

-Paul
