I didn't pay anything extra for it, either when I first got it or with my annual renewals, so that small cost seemed worth it.

Is anyone really going to bother with such a long extension, when short familiar ones like ".com" and ".org" are the standard? Nobody will accidentally go to a web page that ends in ".libertarian", so the risk of confusion or deception seems minimal. It might tickle our own egos, but that's about it. If we had lots of spare money I'd be tempted, but our financial situation is not good and there are many higher priorities.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Sorry to be such a kill-joy.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Dan Wiener<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Apr 20, 2015 at 6:26 PM, Sam Goldstein <<a href="mailto:goldsteinatlarge@gmail.com" target="_blank">goldsteinatlarge@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>A couple members on the LPIN Leadership page just brought this to my attention:<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#373E4D;background:#F6F7F8'>Hey, the internet top level domain libertarian is available.
