Sorry, but the .sr names are not worth $200 except to companies who are so paranoid about others registering their names that they want every instance of it. They are not even worth it even if the renewals are only $1. It's insanity. They are taking advantage of the paranoid corporations, nothing more. They would have made far more money catering to the full public with a sub $6 offering. -- Best regards, William X Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --
