I am very glad you said this, and appreciate that you did so in a reasonable
and thought-out manner. My original idea was just that... an idea. One
that sought a resolution to the problem, and was in no way a perfect
solution... and in many ways quite flawed. Feedback on such an idea is
important, with both good and bad points brought to light.

I agree here absolutely. I would not, for a second, shell out $550 dollars
to obtain a personal website domain name. But, at approximately .50 a pop,
it didn't seem like such a bad price to avoid any further headaches and
confusion.
I would also like to clarify this: I do not have any kids to worry about
wandering into an adult oriented site, nor do I have any sites with a
fibblesnork link, nor did I have any affection for the fibblesnork domain
name as it was a personal site belonging to Todd Lehman. My suggestion was
strictly one of concern for the LEGO community as a whole, with the cheapest
possible resolution to the matter.
Humbly,
Ken Wright
