I'm sure you'd be pleased if half the replies to your mail bounced because
there's no 'pdeutsch' at the OTHER earthlink.net. Of course, your mail
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] probably bounced too, as did [EMAIL PROTECTED], because
you got the "wrong" versions of each, and wanted to send to the OTHER one.
25% of the URLs mailed to you wouldn't point to anything in YOUR DNS.
Of course, typosquatters would love not having to wait for people to make
a typo....
But hey - if you think it's preferable to the current mess (which is
mostly political rather than technical), just remember that it's usually
unwise to use a technical solution for a social problem....
