I think not. Joe Blow has the domain name blow.per; that's all that
means.

I think not. I could have had another domain name with .org if I had wanted
it, but did not choose to do so. If there had been .per or .web to select
from
the same would apply. Nothing in what I said leads to what you conclude.

Nobody said it was. Those were illustrations off the communication issue I

Would you come off that shit, Richard? That is about
the most excessively arrogant bunch of crap I've ever
read in this babble factory. I'm perfectly capable of
running Netscape; it was the origins of the numbers
I was asking about.

grammar corrections?")

Are those ones in which you have a financial interest? If so, the idea here
was
to answer my question, not to try to sell me on something, and other than
slipping in one actual answer (the alternative root servers do indeed
nclude data
on .com, .net, .org as well as the alternative roots) all you've done here
is give
me a condescending lecture -- it's the techynerd syndrome again: someone
who doesn't live and breath that shit asks a simple question and the Ultimate
Engineer thinks that the questioner is the dumbest thing ever to come down
the
pike. So I'll say the same to you: keep it up as a know-it-all ass hole and
see
how well you do in business.
