Message:
QUANGO stands for Quasi-Autonomous Non-Governmental Organisation Mostly put in place to allow a level of deniability - when found out doing something wrong. Can anybody else see what I do? It is my reasoned conclusion that the authorities have succesfully been using propaganda to fool the populace into believing they have good intent - to protect trademarks. To quote from my comments to WIPO 15 Jun 2001: Most trademarks share its name or initials with many others. When authorities could put trademark identity beyond shadow of doubt, they are either devoid of intelligence or corrupt. http://wipo2.wipo.int/process2/rfc/rfc3/comments/msg00074.html
