So I'll hop on the bandwagon and start flaming them. As far as EUnet is concerned, EUcon sites should look exactly like normal North American USENET sites. Making an artificial and arbitrary distinction is revolting. But it's hardly the first revolting thing they have ever done. Soon after I first registered killer as killer.dallas.tx.us, I got a piece of bounced mail from mcvax. The attached error message rather nastily informed me that "US" was not a valid top-level domain, and that mcvax would not pass mail from bogus domains. (That action alone might, possibly, conceivably, be excusable, but if they are going to do it they had better at least get their facts straight.)
