I know exactly what he meant. And you don't get a domain with his
great idea either. You get a pointer, for 10 dollars (or whatever),
to a webpage that you already have to have. If what you think he is
offering is a domain, than uh...you are a bonehead.
So now i get
http://i.m.lame.ti.net
as my web page POINTER which just makes the persons web browser jump
to http://www.xnet.com/~mpb WTF is the point!?!?!?!?!??
It's almost as stupid as that ml.org thing (except stupider, cause
you'd have to pay, and because you couldn't have it pointing to an
actual DYNAMIC ip, like a web/quake/irc/whatever server running on
your home computer). (if you have static ips of coure, then both
types of service are totally useless.)) Do we understand why it is
stupid now?
Good....
