1) Yes, spam is bad, but were is the span in this case.  Andre was asking a question.

2) FYI, you're using Netscape.  Andre did state to use IE.  This is a Microsoft "user friendly" DNS system.  From my IE 5.5 browser it took me to the realnames.com website.  And "New York Times" took me to www.nytimes.com

Microsoft are at it again.  It's the first I have seen of this technology and "I'm excited!"  But at the same time I am worried.  Will realnames.com be licencing the technology to other browser venders?  If so will it only be affordable by the big boys, hence leaving the smaller and open source web browsers out in the cold.
