What if there's no intention to use the domain for email? I've become annoyed enough in the other direction, owning domains *only* used for email and dealing with irate people insisting I'm domain-squatting and must sell them the domain cheaply right now because there's no A record for www.what.ever. Functioning, correct and coherent DNS prior to registration, now that I support whole-heartedly. Regards, Tim.
