.au's Reclusive Administrator Elz Deposed

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.

I don't see how this matters

Even austrians have come to despise the .au domain. No self-respecting web host is willing to deal with sites in that domain, and this has been reflected in the unwillingness of users visit .au sites. I, for instance, have never visited that domain.

Everybody knows that austrian culture is decadent and decaying, like all european countries.

Austrians are just wannabe germans who can't get it together to build a decent car, and buckled under when Hitler sneezed in their direction. I don't care what happens to their pathetic domain, and neither should you.
