Aaaah,
Interesting point, Mark. I like that idea in a way. Although i've just had
a very strong coffee, i'll think about it some more when i start coming
down.
If things start unfolding that way, i think it's crucial that the "general
public" understand the strengths and limitations of such an idea.
After skimming the .sex fAQ, there wasn't a strong thread on how many/few
people could actually view the said domains when they "launch".
