Ah, thanks.

I wonder how many people even know that dashes are legal in DNS names. (I mean, of course, the ASCII character that serves as hyphen, en-dash, and minus sign.)

I think there are lots of domain names that would benefit from a well-placed dash -- the most amusing example I've seen being Pen Island's.

Expert Sex Change. (Familiar to almost everyone here, I think.) Power Genitalia. (An Italian battery company.) Whore Presents. (A service for finding out about people's publicity agents, etc.)
