I gave the reasons for having an "ADU" TLD in my original note.  You think it ok for young kids to view porn online?  You think it a good thing when adults can't carry on a decent discussion because the little ones are flooding a newsgroup with irrelevant posts?  If anything, the "ADU" TLD allows adults their freedom to see and say things online.  If you want to avoid the web being dumbed down to protect children, then we have to come up with some way of easily segregating them from parts of the web which just aren't appropriate for them, but are for adults.  And I have no feelings one way or the other whether the TLD should be three or more letters.  The important point is to have one which keeps kids out of places they don't belong on the web.
