.au's Reclusive Administrator Elz Deposed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rug-out-from-under dept.

Disco Stu writes: "The Sydney Morning Herald has the following story: 'The reclusive programmer Mr Robert Elz has lost control of Australia's domain name system to a private-sector body after the Federal Government rejected his request for the Government to take over the custodianship instead.' I've had to wait months for this guy to get around to approving domains in the past ... but I still can't decide if this is good or not." Sounds bad to me -- or at least Elz sounds good, principled and unconventional.

    Fully a third of posters here can't even tell you the proper plural of the word "virus," and now you're expecting them to tell the difference between two countries with the first 5 letters in common? You might as well ask them if they know the difference between Kansas and Arkansas!
