    why cant you have www.---.com ?

    You're allowed to have dashes in your domain name but you're not allowed to have 100% dashes?

    does it fuck with ICANN or something ?
    Code:
     ---.com	TAKEN	Whois
This domain is already taken ---.org	TAKEN	Whois
Unable to find at this time ---.mobi	ERROR	Unable to find result at this time
 ---.us	AVAILABLE	 
 ---.biz	AVAILABLE	 
This domain is already taken ---.net	TAKEN	Whois
Unable to find at this time ---.co.uk	ERROR	Unable to find result at this time
Unable to find at this time ---.org.uk	ERROR	Unable to find result at this time
Unable to find at this time ---.info	ERROR
    just something I was wondering...

                  no idea. It just has something to do with the end and the beginning of the name... you can't have
                  www.-sex.com or www.sex-.com either.
                  ..and I'm off.
