I just banned all .biz email accounts

A recent infestation of bogus registrations using a wide variety of .biz domains have made it necessary for me to ban all email accounts that use the .biz domain.

Re I just banned all .biz email accounts

Never liked that domain much anyway. Silly idea thought up by someone in an IT department, not a marketing department.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Marketing departments are the root of all evil.

Re I just banned all .biz email accounts

Until you need to sell something and actually make a profit. Then they become your best friends.

"Hey, really cool web businesses will want to use their SPECIAL domain. Forget all this dot com stuff. Why, I'll bet even Amazon and eBay will drop that stupid com and go to dot biz. 'Cause you know, dude, pass me another Red Bull by the way, you know, dude, that Amazon dot biz sounds a lot more cool than Amazon dot com. Anyone can be Amazon dot com, you know?"
