[GTALUG] TLDs

[Giles Orr]

I was deeply disappointed that I couldn't buy "cloa.ca".  Whoever did
buy it isn't even using that disgusting name yet.  Not that I had any
particular use in mind myself ...  It's very hard to come up with
words that end in "ca."

Wow - no, it's not all that bad:

     `grep 'ca$' /usr/share/dict/words`

Turns up 61 results, and who wouldn't want to register sciati.ca or
eroti.ca (note that I haven't checked if these are registered).
mec.ca _is_ registered - to Mountain Equipment Co-op, a company many
of you are probably familiar with.  Sadly (but unsurprisingly), both
antarcti.ca and repli.ca aren't available.
