I don't see any such problems, Jeff. That case has been misquoted on this
forum by those of gTLD-MoU leaning (mainly k*nt and dave). I've read it, and I
see very little applicability and very little to support the claims of the
gTLD-MoU crowds' argument of what they though it meant.

No, you said that. That doesn't make it true Jeff. And I really do think that
it does. And I think others more learned in this area of law than me or you
(despite your proven false claim of a law degree from SMU) will agree.

Nothing ad hominan about it Jeff.....Just doesn't fit with your position vis a
vis PGMedia, which is a very curious think to explore.......
