Joe and all,
Well I knew Jon pretty well and for many years. He did have a
interesting sense of humor himself, and displayed it from time to time.
I am sure he would appreciate your humor here, Joe.
As to using his family and parading them around as sacred cows
in LA, I had herd that, but just discounted it, as I felt it was in
bad taste. But that is just me I guess. But I agree with you
to do that is kinda lame indeed. I am sure they have no idea
specifically what is going on with ICANN, other than what
the ICANNites are telling them, which we all know is not
likely to be factual.
