I think this is misdirected, M. Baptista. It's well known that we in Western Australia
are happy to communicate with the Supreme Being, especially as it is patently obvious
that this is his country of choice!

Hello:
I am the internet top level administrator for GOD http://god.pccf.net/
and am writing to lodge a formal protest with you and your supervisor
concerning your departments inability to communicate with myself or my
users. I consider these actions to be a form of discrimination
sponsored and supported by Ms. Becky Burr a civil servant with the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Department
of Commerce http://www.ntia.doc .
As a canadian citizen I want to lodge my formal protest in this matter.
Mr. Michael Helm the Director General of Telecommunications Policy at
Industry Canada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who is in part responsible for this
mess has been notified of my objection that we in Canada are once again
being dictated to by the americans on how we can communicate with each
other. NOT ACCEPTABLE and WRONG.
The GOD top level domain has over 1,000 users and just under 8,000
domains which at this time are unable to communicate with the Canadian
Government because of United States Government policy. Have we lost our
collective minds in the federal bureacracy or is this just ignorance
and the americans are going to screw us again. This is an unacceptable
state of affairs which I demand be rectified without delay.
It is unacceptable for the United States Government to discriminate
against an individual by effectively blocking his or her choice of
email address and definately wrong for the Canadian Government to blindly
follow along. I repeat - Unacceptable.
I ask that you please file this email in your records and forward a
copy to your department head or supervisor. I would also ask that
you attempt to reply to this post and if such a reply fails - please
keep a copy of the email failure report for the record and send a copy
to myself at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Becky at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
who I will be contacting in future regarding this abuse. Burr has
already been notified of this complaint.
regards
Joe Baptista
