With any luck, this episode will teach new registry operators that confusing options dramatically hurt their sales. If they'd just introduced ".name" as an unrestricted TLD in the first place, like .biz or .info, I suspect it would have been equally popular. Now it's tainted by a reputation for being different and confusing. -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies http://www.tigertech.net/ "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." -- Darwin
