Yup.  I taught Lauren Weinstein to fix broken Unix file systems when he 
was a summer intern at RAND in 1976.  Met Peter at a conference or two.

He's kind of excitable, but he generally gets his facts right.

Surely it doesn't come as a surprise to anyone that the basic business 
model for .XXX is a protection racket.

R's,
