Richard, Ron and all,
Another interesting observation on this post as well. I noticed
the TITTIES.COM is an active domain... There is even a "Free"
area as well! >;) Shocking, just shocking! I guess the relative
filters didn't work in this instance, eh?
This sort of thing kinda gets you to thinking that if the ICANN/DNSO
get control of the Root if any of these domains will remain available,
and for how long....
Is it time for a naughty domain name owners constituency, NDNO?
Richard, maybe you and Ron would be interested in championing
such a constituency? I know, it is a dirty job, but someone may need to
do it! >;) I am sure that it has it's compensations however! >;)
