Re: Trees have one root

Uncle Stef,

What is this "choice" crap???

Internet users, like my father and your daughter, for example, have no
idea what the DNS is and even less of an idea of how to hack their
computer to accept "alternative roots" for the sake of offering choice.
My Mac has this nice thing called a "Setup Assistant". The PC probably has
something similar. But it never asks me if I want to use non-official
domain names. (nor should it).

This is a fantasy you guys have invented in the name of policical choice,
technically it's completely silly, flakey and just plain dumb.

Get real! Please.

Ole
