I think that you are asuming that these are my arguments.. this is
directly from more than one registrants mouth... I know that it's from the
auDA but you explain that to people who do not understand when they see
Melb IT name in the email.
The agument that auDA should have made there body more aware to the public
is exactally what I am saying.>

I'm not saying to send it via teh elec or telco's that but auDA should
have done the same thing that was done to educate people about these
industry changes. Just like these bodies do not through them that's dumb
in anyone's mind....
