Subject: Sure, it worked so well against drugs

Message:

Despite the "Just say NO" campaign, marijuana has been the largest cash crop in Calfornia for 15 years. Trademark owners (and trademark ownners pretending to be geeks in this forum) notwithstanding, there is massive demand for new tlds.
The notion that poeple will be confused by new TLDS is ludicrous. Currently there are 258 top level domains. Can you name more than 10 ? So you know what .ZA is ? .CX ? .FOOD will be confusing but .VI isn't ? Lo verily, render unto me a break.
Despite this apparant confusion the Internet seems to muddle on. That's what search engines are for.
