Okay, somebody sit me down and talk to me like I'm a two year old. Say we open up the roots and allow any idiot to register whatever root name they want. Within a couple years won't we have a .com without .com all over again? All the good names will be taken, and we'll be no better off. In addition, we'll have lost the ability to add a .BIZ or a .INFO to try and open things up a bit. Or am I missing something? -- I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure.
