Peter, you are right in that there is nothing new under the sun. I
distance myself from the content of the original article. I was merely
to suggesting that we could make efficient use of the mainstream press
to focus their attention on important issues and how ISOC can help.

I do not think it is spreading FUD to point out that incorrectly
configured DNS servers are a potential danger for everyone. ISOC needs
to be on the front line of RFC compliance orthodoxy. If we do not
enforce the compliance to the works we hold the copyright on, who else
will ?
