I'm sure people wouldn't think that badly of him. I thought it would be a good thing, no matter what the final domain is chosen (I personally don't mind what it ends up being), that there is a link between the two sites as increased traffic between the two would surely be a good thing? Newbies might get some of the free items, then decide to take it a step further and see what new software/hardware/maazines is available and look up Colin's site.
