This is fucking bullshit of course.

I mean why don't you stop telling such things.

There was no necessity because the number of top level domains was very 
limited.

This was different with IPs, so your conclusion doesn't follow.

There were so few tlds, and none with anything longer than 3 characters, 
that no trouble ever arose and also didn't need to be governed.

This does not equate "Are not supposed to use it."

Private use of IPs was rampant and necessitated governance, this does 
not mean that before the governance people were "not supposed to" use 
any IPs on their (often disconnected) private networks.

Or any private IPs for that matter.

In fact without such disconnected use, the internet would never have 
arisen.

The governance came after the fact after collisions started occurring.

It was not meant to direct, but to respond to issues that arose.

Governance is not required when people are not in conflict.

Assigned for what?

For registration?

We are not talking about domain names. We are talking about top level 
domains.

Of which about 10 existed + country codes.

You don't even seem to see the difference.

Yes, you don't see the difference.

How does one, oh great Nils, register a top level domain for private 
use?

Tell me how an individual can register a top level domain just for him 
or herself.

:).

I mean, I don't want to, but I'd love to learn :).

I mean you are the one admonishing me here.



So I suppose you know what you are talking about?
