Well, maybe you missed the part about the website for the San Francisco Consulate of the Kingdom of Tonga (which the US State Dept lists as their official presence in the US) being an advertisement for a software company. It was all part of a picture that the .to domain may have ceased to serve as a country TLD for the Kingdom of Tonga. What if a country ceased to exist entirely and the domain they were using was hijacked by some random, unrelated entity for their own malicious purposes? Would that justify decommissioning the TLD (meaning, removing it from the root servers)? -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@world.std.com | http://www.world.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989 *oo*
