Randy,
Went fishing for red herring recently, did you?
The question asked was whether or not an ISP could be given a "commercial
advantage in anyway, for example, in marketing, ..." by hosting a (high
level) domain. I indicated, that while I might be too cynical and I could
be wrong, I thought that marketing folks at ISPs probably would. A matter
of opinion. You then made up bogus statistics and have now branched off
into some diatribe about non-ISPs trying to save ISPs.
I don't believe anyone (that is, either of the "bunch" of two of us) has
proposed (or even discussed) trying to save ISPs from each other nor do I
believe this relevant to the discussion.
If you are honestly claiming that you do not believe ISP marketing folk
would try to gain advantage from hosting a high level domain, then we have
dealt with different ISP marketing folks. 'Nuff said.
Rgds,
