Gee the world is going to dance to pauls tune because he WISHES it to do
so.  how nice.  and the internet is now going to run by treaty.  how nice.
and the justice department position he alleges is really true.....trust
him and don't ask for sources....how nice.

Is there anyone on this list who actually programs distributed databases?
and could give a reasoned critique of my earlier statements?
