Ah, I'm disappointed -- I was really expecting to hear about the "you will
*not* believe what domain names people are registering!!!" newsletter.

As for seeing what's out there, I can recall when --*years* ago -- I was
on the mailing list to see new sites that were showing up on Yahoo! (The
list was abandoned very quickly, when new sites began appearing at
x-thousand per hour, or something!)

Didn't think it was. *grin* As I said, I have a weird sense of humour
and being asked about how I found it amused me.

Oh yeah. Actually, I extended the note text to add
http://whorepresents.com as it seemed like a great segue. *laugh* Got
