Hey, I didn't do nuthin wrong! It wasn't me what broke all those website
links to the widders and orphans home pages. Winning Domains Inc. didn't
do it, they just couldn't run a business. Now you see the chaos inherent
in the system. We've got to manage it to protect the poor widders and
orphans from being oppressed cuz the free market jest cain't do the job.
