That's an EXCELLENT point... far easier to make .XXX essentially forced on us if you somehow get Visa and MC on board. Gee, I wonder how much money these .XXX people would make if Visa somehow decided that they were only going to process for adult sites on .XXX domain names? And of course if this damn domain name extension hadn't gone through in the first place, we wouldn't be worrying about this at all since Visa can't force ICANN to create an adult-only domain name extension. I'd REALLY like to know which companies put us in this mess.
