I got on this newslist to get what I hoped would be relevent information
on when
I could register a domain name and I get this...

I have to say... that.... yes; it probably does matter and for no other
reason than
others of the masses like myself will go to these people "of the list"
in good faith expecting to
obtain a domain name which will be used on the internet.  Viable
capacity, not visable capacity is what counts. Gobbledegook aside.

Unless, of course, you guys scare the crap out of us and we lose faith. 

On another note: Maybe we could do away with the name stuff altogether
and just use links built by search engines.  A person could go to yahoo
or infoseek or, or. and get a link to say 200.xxx.xxx. whatever.  Once
stored as a bookmark... that's all I need right!  Same for e-mail!

<sigh> what do I know...
