Re: [ga] dotLA

[Matthew Pemble <matthew@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

The iana page takes you to www.nic.la (sensibly), which bounces to 
www.la (well, if you owned your own ccTLD, you would, wouldn't you :-) 
), erm, which, err, doesn't look like it expects a lot of Laotian 
visitors to me.

I particularly love this quote from the site:

Agreed - clever and expensive.  The site is a bit unclear on how much it 
costs ("less than $1 a week") - dotster is offering me 2 years for 
$64.98.  The 1GB storage / hosting may make this appropriate for some 
people.

Nope.  Just out to scam the gullible as ever.
