`What kind of bullshit is that?!?! Who was here first? I think you should
counter-sue, claiming that people who are trying to achieve immersion in the
world network are being confused by entering the "s" into www.etoy.com and
are lead away from truth and alter.net.reality into a poorly presented
website full of over-priced toys. The only thing virtual there is the
selection which is mediocre at best. Let's not forget to bring up the false
advertising they engage in through the television medium, fooling users into
thinking shopping at etoys is so easy a stuffed sock monkey can do it.
>etoy< on the other hand, has broken NO rules. etoy users are not "spammed"
and further more, those of us that are willingly signed into the collective
for mass mailings DO NOT recieve multiple mailings on a daily basis. Sign up
with etoys and see how crammed full your inbox is at the end of the week.
This is clearly a case of either A)Corporate.Greed thinly disguised as
"customer.concern" or B)The realization that www.etoy.com is simply a better
designed, better presented, and better KNOWN net presence. We can't have
big, no-profit-in-how-long-? companies losing even more money because Jed
and Betty hillbilly signing on in 'Merica's Heartland with AOL and watching
the 'tube, can't figure out that the letter "S" (clearly stated in ALL
television, radio and net ads) belongs at the end of www.etoyS.com IF THEY
ARE TRYING TO GET TO ETOYS.COM! Better get Barney Fife over here, an attempt
is being made to hijack a domain that has existed before the
Etoys.Greed.Machine became active and aware. Perhaps it is because they
think etoy (NO S) is a smaller, weaker presence, and therefore must be
overtaken.
I volunteer for active.duty in the domain name war 1.0 and x.x to follow.
And, should it be asked of me, I will give up my meager 36MB plus of space
on the net to the etoy.resistance for propaganda or other media as seen fit
by etoy, including the sale of the etoy_toykiller for monetary support.

PS- If the etoy_toykiller is available for purchase, I gladly donate my
funds.
