Jay Westerdal asks:
>Why do we need a .POST? Can't they do this same thing with a sub-domain
>like post.int?

John Berryhill says: "No.  This TLD will be set up to permit you to buy and glue stamps to your email, along with some sort of global address directory scheme by which you can look anyone up online and then turn your computer off and write them a letter."

***FS*** If approved..  expect them to spend every dollar (and waking moment) fighting the addition of .mail and .postage

My favorite is probably HoneyBunchesofOats.Post

It all sounds good, but can we depend on them to hike the .post rates every 45 days?
