I can personally attest that VC's do not do any research when doling out the guappa... On Mar 5, 2001 Steve Rubin spake:

New.net is able to provide use of these new, top-level domains through innovative, patent-pending technology that allows the New.net names to live within the existing Internet domain name system.
