Who valued it? Will they actually pay that? I have some wonderful web based
workflow/billing software that's at least 10 times more complex than this
task set, would that be worth US$2,500,000? Tell me where this buyer is!

Nothing stops you providing services to clients in non .AU spaces, and as
you say you are doing that, well congratulations, that's fine. However this
list  is mainly related to issues of trying to get operational
multi-registrar structures running inside .au, and you don't happen to be a
registrar in .au right now, and Michael does.

Sure, I most certainly would say nice things about Karl Auerbach - but I'm
not sure why those nice things are germane to this list or its discussion
right now... perhaps you can take that up with me privately!!!??
