Subject:	Confusion!
Message:
Here it is one more time: confusion! There will be no confusion from .movie and other *chartered* TLDs. Let these be set up, if anyone wants them. No one will want to be the registrar of these, though. To much work (check, check, check: is that really a movie?). No big cash to be had for doing no work (which is what running a registry is, once you've things running). What I mean by confusion is adding additional *generic* TLDs, one in which everyone can register. The likes of .biz and .web. There is no way to tell where to find MicroSoft: at .com?, at .biz?, at .web? That is the confusion. So what will MicroSoft do: get all these domains. Conclusion: who is to gain? And who will get crew.biz? It simply will not work, except for the registrars. I think I'll become a registrar, yeah.
