Mark Johnson, so far as I can tell, has never met anyone.

I am offended/amused by the "familiarity" presuppposed by a sockpuppet.

ISC/Vixie has already been shown for what it is. spam/front/fraud funded
by Rick Adams of UUnet/Worldcom infamy. Last year 1.6million of
$2million come from Adams (source: IRS form 990). Its part of the
Cerf/Crocker frauds (sex.com thief, Worldcom, DNSSEC, Root Anycast DNS).  
What more do you want?  I can't give you criminal indictment, that's not
my call.  They've already pinned a lot on Ebbers, who is serving 25
years in jail. Felon Stephen Cohen (childhood friend of Crockers &
Cerf), the sex.com thief, was assisted by ARIN (Ray Plzak, Vixie & some
Nanog guys) in transferring Number resources to LACNIC, has since been
jailed.  Ray Plzak (then CEO of ARIN, former coworker of Cerf) first
lied to silence me, then resigned.  Vixie and co still control ARIN, and
could be removed by court action (no valid quorum in their elections),
but they've been discredited, and its only a matter of time before they
have to quit or else make fraudulent statements to the government.

What more do you want?

Heh.  Chances are that Johnson IS Dempsky's sockpuppet.
