Funny you should mention this. I have been working on an experimental
heirarchical number-based domain naming system which is now being deployed
on a trial basis. If you'd like to try it, send mail to:
007@[137.192.2.5]
Don't say anything nasty though. All the kinks aren't worked out of the
system yet and this address is still licensed to kill.
Where am I?
In the [Global Electronic] Village.
Who are you?
I am Number 2.
Who is Number 1?
You are Number 6.
I am not a number, I am a free man!
Yeah, right; and I'm 'enery the 8th, I am.
