Brett,

Until more comprehensive policy becomes available, yes.

In general, using a cousin domain is a bad practice, where the term 
"far" has not been met by your current practice.  It may have been 
better to have used something like your stock symbol instead.  Such a 
change will be painful, and likely of little benefit, since users will 
have been exposed to spoofing to a point where they should be wary of 
cousin domains.  Then again, there is always the next generation to 
consider, assuming they will still be using email.
