Roland and all,
In part I agree and have stated as much on this thread several times and in
several ways as well. However the substance of their case, is both relevant
and important as well. SOme may disagree with the pgMedia's desire
for so many gTLD's and/or claim to them, which I think is in doubt
actually from NameSpace itself. Rather I believe that pgMedia is
attempting to emphasize a point.
