Re: [ga] sTLD Premium Names

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dr. Dierker and all,

  Sarcastic humor intended as follows:

  Maybe they are waiting on selling by back door, sex.travel,
erotica.travel and bootycall.travel < no pun intended >.  I bet
Larry Flint or Playboy would consider bidding.  >:)   Of course
the lawyers would have to disavow any knowledge of such a
transaction as it would be unseemly.  And than maybe they
could pursued Debbie and Dr. Dierker to do the marketing
for them to sell third level domain names.  Of course again as
there is no sex in Vietnam, marketing to that area would
be strictly forbidden.  >:)  As we all likely know, sex travel
junkets are the rage these days...  And sex always sells
well. >:)

  Otherwise I believe their doomed.
