Well, the point is that it's entirely plausible, and the sort of thing you'd expect someone to achieve if they promised they would. However, there's a chance they'd fail due to elements outside their control. This is quite different from the Vladivostok Telephone Directory situation, which as far as I could tell was almost completely impossible, and also impossible to opt out of (except by deregistering; omd argued that not even deregistering got you out of the situation). I suppose I'm one of those people who's mildly curious to see what, say, omd does with trying to creatively violate the rules, while myself thinking that it's an abhorrent thing to do and that nobody should be forced to do so. This may well be an inconsistent opinion, I suppose. -- ais523
