...but this is the half of the true strory. If OpenNIC will really get an 
widely spread alternative to the current system it will be a target for the 
anonymous terrorists too. Anonymous makes irrational terror against anything 
they can reach and is large enough to be widely public and small enough by 
technics to get it DDOSed down. The affected users are typically end users or 
at least not the one they want to "protest against" - thus are not hackers, 
they are studpid and largemouthy terrorists everytime using the same security 
hole of the whole internet - which OpenNIC is affected from too btw...

Shure, Anonymous got's well known in the public by hitchiking on the 
wikileaks (without there interest!) publissity and damaged even WLs 
reputation. Shure, OpenNIC may go the same way as Anonymous now by hitchikin 
on them, but i would not recommend this in any way.

Yes, it makes sense to have (multiple/many) different DNS root authories like 
OpenNIC and thus could be communicated even in relation to the Anonymous DNS 
DDOS, but just as an example why "one is not enough", but not as "the 
alternative" which is "not affected", this is not true at the end of the 
days...

If OpenNIC want to be/get a really reliable, responsible alternative (one of 
muultiple in the future) it should leave on its own and true facts only, but 
far enough from the "IT Al Quaeda" of the self employed "politicall corrects" 
and "good peoples".

Just my two cents here...



cheers,

Niels.
