What do they do again? I'm pretty sure Bob Parsons over at Godaddy knows this too, but from his blog http://www.bobparsons.com he seems a little absorbed by his commercials to care what comes of this. Incredible.

That e-mail is just wack. Typical of large businesses and buracracies. At least the government hasn't moved in to screw it up even more by splitting the ownership internationally. Dreamhost, send them an e-mail about this! I too hate how people do not understand that .coms are only for commerical websites. I get domain names based on what they are being used for. I wish more people would understand this but our world is just to commercial :-P. Robert I personally have never seen anybody have any decimal point not preceeded by a zero. That e-mail is just wack.

That's happened to me in messages generated out of scripts I wrote if I forgot to "escape" dollar signs properly. As for new TLDs, I use some .info and .name names myself, and make a point of never using .com names for my sites, to combat the rampant idiocy and dumbing-down in the Internet whereby the marching morons think that everything is or ought to be .com even if it's noncommercial.
