The challenge in making comparative references like this is to make sure the comparison has a reasonable basis. So, for example, banks are not expected to give loans to everyone. They are in fact /required/ to discriminate. (However even banks have limitations on the nature or extent of that discrimination.) A core problem with calls for differential handling of "abusive" domain registrations is that it opens the door to abuses by the authority. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
