Bonjour Larryhatch ;)..

heh Heh .."soucoups" was too much for me to resist ..

Actually the .fr helps with relation to wine because the restrictions on who can have a .fr are very draconian ..and the restrictions on who can trade wine directly out of France are even more so ..

Not totally "crook" or "foolproof" but better than the dogs breakfast that the proposed .eu will be.

Also if the sale of this suffix is restricted to just European domaine name sellers ( Dont' know yet? )..that will make "g*ndi" the worlds biggest in no time at all ..and they already allow anonymous registration ( they don't say as much unlike "g*d*ddy" ..but I have seen D*sney characters and profanities listed as dom' owners in the whois for doms registered via them ) ...

That would make it even harder to know who or what you were dealing with on a .eu domain ..

On a different note ..if as in the article cited at top the pre-selling of .eu hasn't yet begun ..does that mean that any dom registrar currently offering pre-selling or "reserving" of .eu's is scamming and guilty of mail fraud? ..or it's equivalent in your /their juristiction?
