No, my comments are spot on.  The vast majority of those TLDs use the
SAME nameservers.  The actual claimant asks Sexton or one of the
other few who DO actually know how to manage DNS to add an SOA record
in their dns servers for them.

The TINC rules are mostly cosmetic.  They are in no way real minimum
technical standards.

I can point to a large number of TLDs in the ORSC zone that were
"Created" by someone posting to the list asking if someone can add
their TLD to their dns for them.

You know it, and I know it, so can the BS Marc.
