Subject:	Want to have a laugh? Take a look at Realnames
Message:
I just received some spam about Realnames and had a look at it. 1) They do not support all browsers, even IE often needs downloading patches. 2) They only support 10% of the countries worldwide. People in the other 90% of the world cannot use Realnames. 3) If you don't want your customers to be confronted with Realnames' advertising window, you'll have to pay $200 per country per year. Times some 250 countries, that would be a staggering $50,000 per year if one would like their customers to be able to use this name worldwide! Somehow I can't take this serious :) Erik
