Colin, and others,

When I first bought redwhiteandblue.org, a guy called me and tried selling 
me redwhiteandblue.com for 500 dollars.  I told him I didn't need .COM for 
what I was doing.  Then someone bought it and then it fell off the grid and 
they recently contacted me and wanted 69,000 dollars for the .COM version. 
No fooling.

Phil.
