It is my understanding (urban legend?) that large multinational companies check their acroynms for their company and products to make sure they don't mean something "nasty" in other languages. Did "Exxon" change their names from "Esso" because of that? I wonder about FQDNs and their literal meaning (somewhere). I guess there is a new business opportunity, besides the one selling FQDNs that has been "on the wire" of late. Murph: you up to it? ;-) /Pete
