It really doesn't matter whether you think the potential risks are serious or negligible, this new TLD has absolutely nothing positive to offer anyone except registrars and domain sitters. Without anything to compensate for whatever risk there may be, nor for the additional costs involved, what possible reason can there be to support it?

But then I guess (to borrow from the original question) that "Adult Webmasters Are Stupid". Poor attendance at the Internext seminar reflects the struggle that MikeHawk and others are having to get anyone to talk about this issue at all, let alone to do anything about it. Let's face it, if most couldn't spare the time to deal with 2257 and the threat of 5 years in jail, what chance does this topic have?
