What do you think about the offer lawley made to Diane/FSC?
Here's a copy/paste of her post from earlier today:

I wanted to respond to a few of the comments posted earlier.
Dave and Tom did not lie. Deals were proposed to FSC and others in 2004. It's a fact and there are NUMEROUS individuals who will attest to that.
Stuart also told me, prior to my trip to Brussels during a conversation in which he was trying to gain FSC support, that part of that $10 going to support "charities" could go to support FSC's programs. He also told me that he would offer whatever "comfort" we needed. As you can imagine, that suggestion fell flat with FSC.
Stuart tells mainstream media that the $10 of the $60 will go to protect children. He tells the adult industry that the $10 will go to protect the adult industry. Stuart, we don't have any children in the adult industry so which is it?
You want Reader's Digest?
.XXX will harm the adult entertainment industry through:
* Probable .XXX mandate that will facilitate censorship and attacks from anti-industry extremists
* Reduction of industry profits as ICM purports to make $200 million ANNUALLY off of the industry through its existing online market. We know that if companies register they are doing so defensively thus throwing dollars down the drain to protect the brand and traffic they already enjoy.
* Damaging the reputation of the adult industry and its .com presence by marking the industry and those entities that are not .XXX as irresponsible.
ICM/Stuart is misleading ICANN and the Adult Industry about
:
* Support he has from the industry
* Promises and deals that have been "suggested"
* The IFFOR Board its make-up and mission
* That the application is a "Done Deal* it is NOT!!!!!
The next steps in the process will be to block the application acceptance. There are two avenues for doing that.
1. To show that their application is no longer valid today
2. To support GAC in its opposition to the .XXX sTLD
If you are interested in GAC's position on .XXX you can read their last two statements on the subject at the links below:

Finally, thank you to Darklady and Colin and Angie from Wasteland for their financial support. Between .XXX, the OSHA/mandatory condoms issue and our lawsuit with the feds concerning 2257, your help is not only appreciated but desperately needed.
