Dave, Not to dive to far into the practical side of things, but anything they do to stop myself and millions of others from having to pay what I'm sure will be a high cost to register trademark.xxx before the domain squatters and spammers do is GOOD thing. Every time a new extension is added we're talking about an outright scam to milk companies out of millions. We already saw this with .biz and others. And what a motivation to pay them off too, cannot have your good name tarnished by porn, think of the children! Since you have farber.net, you probably don't want farber.xxx falling into the wrong hands. However I will admit it will be fun to watch things like microsoft.xxx and google.xxx appear (someone will eventually miss a renewal accidently) and the media reaction we will see from that. We should send another 6000 letters to be sure they get the point. -- Adam L.
