Everybody: Please read RFC 3675 before commenting further on this subject. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate. Si vis pacem, para bellum. [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: To make it easy for readers to find this _fascinating document_ that Mark refers to I am providing a link here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3675.html sub-titled '.sex considered dangerous', it is an interesting sermon-length document which explains why the author has such hatred and bias against a TLD known as '.sex' All the author's objections could likewise be applied to '.com' or '.org' or '.edu' as well, and if a couple of guys here in this mailing list are to be believed, '.org' is free to be (and I will suggest, is) abused at present. A finer collection of red-herrings you'll not find anywhere than those presented in RFC 3675. Thanks for pointing it out, Mark. PAT]
