Given Ben Edelman's excellent timeline of your "TLD business", I 
think I have to say it now: Your version of .biz is nothing more 
than a toy - and it certainly was nothing more than a toy in 
November 2000.  Your story that ICANN creates a collision with an 
"operational TLD" looks like it's a very strong distortion of 
reality, even when I apply UNREALISTICALLY LOW standards of 
"operational".

Anyway: For economical reasons, you don't have a chance with your 
.biz. After having read Ben's report, I have to add that this is a 
good thing.
