That's all fine and spiffy Joe but being cutesy isn't the point - it is
fairly obvious that this is not the "Kingdon of Tonga" (as it may be a
principality or sovereign nation) but a for profit agency or group selling
domains that they have absolute control over (much like the
NIC - hmmm mebbe I'll reconsider my argument) - Now that in and of itself
isn't illegal *but* they shouldn't have a top level principality domain.

a friend who setup his SMTP server to say:

220 mail.host.com SMTP If you don't know what your doing, you don't need
to be here.  And if you do know what you're doing, you really don't need
to be here.
