RE: [OT]Back on the subject of Web pages

Check into the laws in the UK.	Here in the US many judges have been
stripping so-called name shops of the right to purchase the names of
legitimate businesses.	But to tell the truth I own geohex.com, .org and
.net, have for some time.  It helps to buy them early and sit on them
for
yourself.

Well someone did mention that Jon dosen't have an official GZG web page
but after having just purchased a web domain for myself I was amazed to
see how many domain names have been bought for the sole purpose
of making businesses pay to be able to represent themselves on the web.

www.gzg.co.uk will cost Jon #4,500 since it has already been reserved by
a domain name buying company called Name-Shop!

That's a lot of cash for small businesses to cough up.
