I know a certain someone who will most definitely have commented on this

already, but I must point out that:


1. There are over 4 million words in the English language (not counting

brand and business names).

2. Funmail is fun, free and brings joy to *well* over 3,500 people, would

you prefer these names were reserved for 3,500 'entrepreneurs?

3. I didn't see *any* brown paper envelopes addressed to Nominet, the

suggestion of a 'special arrangement' sours your point.
