Hey Team,
I'm finding this disussion a little comical about the philosophical
distinctions for the 3 suffixes at OpenSRS. (.COM/NET/ORG).
Know why that would be? When I joined this list I created a little
Netscrape mail filter to plunk all these discuss-list profundities into
a separate folder. Much to my surprise I found a large percentage of my
maillist stuff wasn't being filtered properly. A quick investigation
led me to the discovery that a whack of folks were sending to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and the rest were sending to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Yes... I've fixed my filter now thanks.)
While the unwashed masses in the ranks of RSP-dom can be excused for a
lack of uniformity I am surprised that the powers that be at odds on
this issue. (Chuckles Daminato seems to prefer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
whilst Kenneth Joy is an ORG man. :)
Tell me... is this more of the open sores of which Ross speaks? :)
