Many network operators have their own domains for personal use.  Many
people find great value in separating personal and work things, especially
with companies dropping like flies.  Granitecanyon provides for such
separation at no cost.  So this really was more of interest to network
operators *personally* instead of *in relation to their networks*.  
Which, as I realized later, is off-topic.  (although two emails off-list
have pointed out that it's more on-topic than most of the MAPS debates
lately)

Now you know.  (although if you don't, reply personally as opposed to the
list due to massive off-topicness at this point)
