But this is leading to bloat in DNS servers. It slows things down and makes
it more prone to errors. In my humble opinion, they ought to have some human
better human moderation when people apply for domains.
This morning I read about .eu domain name 'raids' and 'grabs'. The registrars
are unwilling to do anything to stop this. Domain spaces are being spammed
in the same way that content, indices, cache, E-mail, and site requests get
'contaminated'.
Best wishes,
Roy
