I couldn't see someone starting e-trade-mutual.com for an electronically traded mutual fund, or e-trade-realestate, a site where property is traded electronically. Such names would be viewed as somehow having a connection or being endorsed by E-trade. Similarly, if I operate an internet casino that takes mastercard, I can display the mastercard logo and say I accept mastercard, but I couldn't call my casino mastercard-casino.com - John --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
