Isn't it Jeffery Case that sez "as we say down on the farm, reality diverges greatly from reality"? Has anyone ever heard of a .edu domain being delegated and subsequently revoked because the owner's organization was not a four-year degree granting institution??
yep. completely. [clipped from a posting to domain-policy from cambler () iodesign com on 4/20]

someone at internic popped in a day later and said they'd all be removed. from poking at a copy of the edu zone file circa then, i can "derive" a long list of names that have been revoked. i'd suggest you also read domain policy, but the signal to noise ratio there makes this list seem like standing right next a speaker stack at a ministry concert in madison square garden. without earplugs. :) -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior () daemon org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet () graffiti com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew () crossbar com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
