  Never heard of "Matlock" so I am afraid you have me at a disadvantage
here...  I also don't watch very much television...  So if this "Matlock"
is such a character, he is obviously a popular character of yours.  So
perhaps  you have this "Matlock" character confused with Louis Touton???
If so, is that "Matlock" character a character actor in some sort
of legal comedy?

  Just because I don't get a domain name that I want or wanted, in no way
means that I am a loser in that desire or endeavor..  There are other
similar alternatives.  In any event a Domain Name is not what this
thread is about anyway.  It IS about in part TLD Top Level Domains,
Allan...  Please try to remember the difference...

  Yet another ridiculous statement from you here...  Unfortunate..  :(

  There are any number of ways to "Avoid" most legal actions when
a new TLD is introduced....  Those ways have been discussed
a some length some time ago on this very forum.  Perhaps a review
of the DNSO GA archives would be a good and helpful exercise
for you, specifically on this subject area...????
