Curly doesn’t like the fact that it was voted on and passed despite the fact that s/he objected to it.. Too bad, but majority rules on this particular question. Maybe s/he wants to take on writing a new one. If so, Curly, go right ahead.. Post it and we will see if we like your version better.

Violating PARTS of the charter that are found in EVERY charter can get you yanked. The RFC’s speak to which of these the majority might bother with, and they are fairly minimal. A newbie ISP will over-react, but nobody with the power to last will do so. Getting an ISP "yanked" is VERY rare, except in the case of little owned domains who are responsible for much of the UCE (spam) and posted SPAM. They die and are reborn constantly. Steve

You didn’t, by any chance, put in a complaint about me to my ISP, did you? I may be being paranoid, but I’m just wondering, since you have reported "many violations" in the past. ..Charlene
