Re: [ga] It's started. Fwd: New Policy for Domain Names

["Roberto Gaetano" <roberto.gaetano@voila.fr>]

Simon,

I'm sure that there are dozens of these initiatives around, trying to 
make few bucks with little effort.
Any suggestion on how to avoid it?
(BTW, you cannot think that this is serious, and that somebody serious 
is behind it)
