A good point, but I'm not sure if we could get any easier than
dakota-truck.net. (Well, except for dakota.net, and that's taken...)
When I moved the list over to buffnet.net, I tried to get dakota@buffnet.net,
but a user had already taken the name "dakota". :-( (I wonder why they
aren't on the list?) :-)
Anyway, now that we've got dakota-truck, it might be a bit of a pain
to try and fit it all together... That is, the list is dakota-truck, the
url is dodgedakota.com, etc... Might be easier to keep it the same as the
list name, I dunno. A nice thing about dakota-truck is that the hyphen
seperates the word, and you distinctly see "dakota" and "truck", instead
of a whole line of characters that you couldn't read fast enough to see.
As long as they caught the "dakota" part, a WWW search would send them
to the right place quick enough.
Who knows? :-)
