I'll go over all of the strategy details if you really want to hear 
them, but I suspect that much of it will bore you.

I do not expect the OpenNIC community to take me seriously, I'm just 
some kid on the Intertubes. Why listen to me?

However, I am very displeased with this attitude of the existing 
carriers that OpenNIC is in any way illegitimate. I do not appreciate 
it, and it is painful to observe this passive attitude from the admins 
of a project that I admire.
