Anyone clever enough to read and reply to mailing list messages as root
is not going to be registering any domains for me.  ;-O

Which means nothing.

You may consider it that way, but as far as I can see you don't make
the rules that the rest of the world lives by.  Just because you set
up a nameserver with .usa and .earth which the (rest of the world
doesn't see) does not give you any property rights whatsoever,
especially "intellectual".

If this *were* the case, then here - add my nameserver to your root.cache.
I claim the following TLDs:

    $ egrep '^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9]$|^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9]$|^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9]$' /usr/share/dict/words
