(People have been telling me that my approach is wrong, that I'm not
diplomatic, and that I should be more friendly. So I'm going to try
it out and see what happens.)

Hiya, Kent! How ya been? Gee, I haven't seen you since Monterrey,
you old sod. You and Mike Heltzer been staying out of trouble? So
how's it hanging? How's the wife and kids? (Is this friendly
enough? Am I overdoing it?)
So you don't think that buck fer ICANN's a tax, huh? Well, you might
be right. A fee, huh? Yeah, that makes sense. A sort of user fee, am
I right? Going to the guys who gave us this super Internet, Joe Sims
and his buddies. What the heck, they deserve it. I say, give 'em
five bucks! Ten! I mean, they're out there workin' their butts off
for us, aint they? Takin all that *&%$* that baddies like Mike
Sondow are always slingin at 'em. Sure, give 'em ten bucks. I hate
to see those sweet ICANN board people standing around in the rain
waiting for the bus. They oughta have company limos, fer heck sake.
I'm with you all the way, Kent.
Hey, by the way, what kinda "fees" are you and yer CORE buddies
gonna charge all them registrars who've gotta come to ya fer them
trademarked domains, huh, Kenty baby? Gonna gouge 'em? I mean, why
not? They can't go anywhere else, can they?
Keep up the good work, ol pal. See ya round, huh?
(How was that? Better?)
