    A request to those of you sending emails to ICANN

    Well, more of a request and an offer.

    I am happy to see that there are several new posts up on the ICANN board with statements against the .XXX tld, but I have to admit that I am appalled by what I am reading.

    People, if you want to be taken seriously try writing in an intelligent manner. This would include, but not be limited to:

    * Use spellcheck. You are a businessperson, try writing like one. Sloppy spelling might be acceptable on GFY, but if someone sent me a business letter with crappy spelling I would not even read it to the end.

    * Do not use vulgarity. . . adding .com after GoFuckYourself does not make it intelligent. Again, someone sent me a business letter with vulgarity in it I would not even read it to the end.

    You are trying to influence people, put your best foot forward.

    Now for the offer. If you would like me to review your letter before you send it I will be happy to do so. You can post it here, or if you have my contact info, send it directly to me and I will check it out and send it back to you.

            What if someone forgot and omitted the word "if" from a crucial point in a sentence? Would you read that business letter to the end?

                Well, if I was writing a business letter I would not cut and paste to save time . . . which is exactly what I did in this instance.
