Sorry, but the .sr names
are not worth $200 except to companies who
are so paranoid about others
registering their names that they want
every instance of it. They are
not even worth it even if the renewals
are only $1. It's
insanity. They are taking advantage of the
paranoid corporations,
nothing more. They would have made far more
money catering to the
full public with a sub $6 offering.
