Uh-huh.  They exported it to the .xxx domains, that's all.

I admit it would be cool if I could get sjt.com, but I could live with
sjt.subsub.sub.gol.ne.jp.  I don't really object if the big boys want
to slug it out for sjt.com.  (It's registered to the Societe du
Journal Telephone.  Not so big, I guess.)

The names I really wanna register _are_ available.  And may stay that
way.  Just requires a little creativity in what you want.
