- Lawley believes he has found the 'smoking gun' from their FOIA requests the Dept. of Commerce played a heavy hand

- They still content that they have support of the adult community from tens of thousands of adult webmasters who emailed them (yeah right), over a dozen letters of endorsements from large adult "leaders", and the stunt they pulled to "pre-register" .xxx when ICANN told them not to do it, that they now claim 100,000 pre-registered domains have been received, thus proving they have the adult community defined.



Fight the .$$$!
