Adam,

Well I presumed that we could both have our options out there, you are
obviously looking for a bit so here it is..
The reason is that I don't have time to answer your every comment that was
covered the paragraph before, doubling up to confuse the issue.

I don't think that people should be restricted to ridiculous naming rights
that are restrictive in the DNS. I'm not disagreeing with registering the
company, non-profit etc etc to stop confusion in business practice.
These differing bodies do marketing and have brand names and trade marks
and such, these vary indifferently and restricting use to one name and one
level is highly unfair.
Example ;

a political party runs a junior campaign to get membership and calls it

'Youth in Politics'

You are saying that they can't get a name in the .au space to do marketing
and promote this such as youthinpolitics.asn.au, they have to use their
full registered name which can sometimes be very long winded and not at
all friendly to TV, print and other media, which you profess you are in i
would have thought that you could see that point...
Separating us from the rest of the world would see the fall of business
that can afford to run a site as they are not found nor are the names
applied to the IP's remembered easily and not so easily for those that
want it that way.
Or do you feel that the world DNS should do the same? Do you have inoz.com
as a registered name? It seems that it's registered to Todd Corporation
Pty Limited so in your own thinking your not entitled to your own domain.

I ignored a lot more because than just this point, but I feel that they
are all entitled to it..
I don't see you point in registering a company with every letter and
registering any name that you want, this is not how the rules are
interpeteted... you are going to far with the ruling as it is not allowed.

So you saying that my identity michael-pappas.com or michaelpappas.com or
michael.pappas.name is not my identity on the internet, this is so far
from the truth. I can change IP's and you might never know but I will
always have my identity, and I've had it from birth it's not changing. In
fact any one can change provider and you may never know but their name
will remain the same. I can post to a site, I can have an unfinished site
because I have little time to work on it, I can spend hrs on it having a
completed site, I can post what I like on the site.. as to can everyone
else.
Regards,

Michael-Pappas.
