Subject: There Are Other Ways to Accomplish This Brendan.

                  Hi Brendon, I relate to your problem because my last name is the same as a famous opera singer's last name and the domain was taken by a record company, however, I have accomplished my objective.  There are so many different ways to do it:

Joe@Lastname.com, .org, or .net
Joe@LastnameFamily.com, .org, or .net
Joe@LastnameClan.com, org, or .net
Joe@LastnameBunch.com, org, or .net
Joe@TheLastnames.com, .org, or .net
Joe@TheLastnameFamily.com, .org, or .net


How would it make it better for me if there was .art, .info, or .sex?  I can't see how.  Furthermore, I could accomplish the same thing without confusing the entire Internet world.  How?  I would just use those same initials before the dot, for example:

Joe@TheLastnamesArt.com, .org, or .net
Joe@TheLastnamesSex.com, .org, or .net
Joe@TheLastnamesInfo.com, .org, or .net

or

Joe@ArtAtTheLastnames.com
Joe@SexAtTheLastnames.com
Joe@InfoAtTheLastnames.com

I recognize that some of the examples above are bizarre, but the same thing would happen with new TLDs.  Why would I want my last name or my families last name with an .art, or .xxx, or .info ending anyway?  It
doesn't make sense.  Let's start using our imaginations.
