[comp.mail.uucp] NIC registration

From article <5349@killer.DALLAS.TX.US>, by wisner@killer.DALLAS.TX.US (Bill Wisner):
| ... Entering the US domain is just a bit less painless than
| utilizing the UUCP Project, and the truly masochistic can deal directly
| with the NIC. You are simply one of a number of options.

Dealing directly with the NIC is not painful at all.  Once one figures out
how to fill out that gawd-awful questionaire, it was a breeze.  The NIC people
are very helpful (our application got lost the first time, but we re-sent it
and our domain was registered 2 days later).

I personally like the .US domain idea, but I hate the "host.area.state.us"
format... it's not appropriate for "parks" of 2+ computers.  I'd prefer
host.[park.[area.*]]state.us.

Enough of that subject, it's been debated to death.  I'd just like to put
my 2cents saying that registering with the NIC isn't all that painful.
