I count 28 domains on Andrew's list. The 28 by themselves is not a huge expense. I just want us to consider whether this actually accomplishing anything. For example, I'd hate to see us expand this strategy to other NL's or other permutations of domain names without really understanding how the "game" is played today. With the expansion of TLD's, the game seems to be getting domains like openoffice.fm and then using Twitter and Google+ to spam advertisements, or to use Google or Bing sponsored search ads to drive traffic to the fake website. -Rob > FC > > -- > During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary > act > - George Orwell
