Instead of multiple govs trying to use .gov or .mil, the best idea would be to collapse .gov under .gov.us and .mil under .mil.us (Much like how other countries already work). I don't see that happening as long as the US gov has a say in the matter. I think .su will be decommissioned long before .gov or .mil are. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -ITG (ITechGeek) ITG@ITechGeek.Com https://itg.nu/ GPG Keys: https://itg.nu/contact/gpg-key Preferred GPG Key: Fingerprint: AB46B7E363DA7E04ABFA57852AA9910A DCB1191A Google Voice: +1-703-493-0128 / Twitter: ITechGeek / Facebook: http://fb.me/Jbwa.Net On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 2:17 PM, David Conrad <drc@virtualized.org> wrote:

I'm thinking there's a "not" missing here.
For the numerous people who have suggested similar, both publicly and privately: yes, I did accidentally leave out a teensy little word. I honestly wasn't making a comment about my current (perhaps until my boss reads the post) employer. Really. No, really.
That'll teach me to post pre-coffee.
