Were I InterNIC management, I'd be wondering why it took an employee
perusing an off-topic thread in this list to have the problem brought to
somebody's attention. I reported it to action@internic.net yesterday
morning, at which time it had already been going on for at least a day.
Then again, since I've long been convinced my mail to InterNIC is just plain
blackholed anyway (based on a response rate of exactly 0% to date), I don't
know why I thought that one would have been treated any differently.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
