I didn't say that.  I'm just pointing out that revoking domain
names is something I generally do not support, and especially
in this case I think you are doing yourself and your causes
more damage than good by making such counterproductive suggestions.

I didn't express my opinion on that subject at all.  Don't make assumptions.

If you really want my personal opinion, I think that the existing DNS
system is now clearly showing serious limitations and will gradually
become less and less relevant as new protocols and services eventually
reduce the reliance on DNS.
