i'm not sure it makes sense to interpret milton's support for free
speech concerns in the context of .org as suggesting that he's less
concerned about them in other so-called sponsored TLDs. expecially
because, if i understand rightly, milton was (a) summarizing some-
one else's comments, and (b) doing so in a brief that's limited to
.org. anyway, it definitely doesn't make sense to fault milton for
failing to support free-speech issues elsewhere; he has done so for
years.

cheers,
