AA, my observation was simply that Snacks concluded that gov space was coming on line. My data does not agree with that.
Snacks is not required to provide documentation. Snacks does not provide documentation.
I simply shared with the community my personal knowledge. I believe it to be factual. I am not going to start naming people and providing personal e-mails from civil servants to satisfy the one-sided approach to vetting that dominates this forum. I am not going to enforce a regimen of verification greater than Snacks.
I am not asking you to believe what I said.
I look forward to Fullmoon’s contact on this. I respect Fullmoon. I believe my statements to be accurate. I am not going to give you phone numbers and contact details for this information.
Its not like I'm talking rocket science ... we all know the Gov moves like a glacier, and I simply stated a real bonified example of that glacial slog which I thought added reason and temperament to Snacks adventurous remarks.
Once again, I expect DoD to lead. I know that Agr and Int are out. Its that simple. But the notion that the floodgates of Gov have opened that Snacks suggested is simply in error, is irresponsible, creates false expectations, and is based on not even one single link. (Since link seems to be the criteria).
We can worship Snacks, praise Snacks, or whatever. HE made a statement I do not think is supported, I indicated why I thought so. It is not personal, it is not anti-Wave (but it is anti-hype) the fact is all of my data indicates that *.gov (less DoD) is *MILES AWAY*. What is a mile? I don't know, but I'll bet my shares against your shares that DoA and DoI are at least 6 years away from paying one single dime.
The above content is my opinion.
