Even Network Solutions who was hosting the account didn't recognize it as a valid email address. Yeah, that’s why I dropped my .name account.

If you want to spend the rest of your life complaining to the world that your .info, .mobi, .coop or .museum doesn't work, just have it put on your epitaph.

Validating email addresses is silly. Not as silly as asking twice for a string I can^H^H^Hwill copy/paste. I can give you a million "valid" email addresses that aren't valid. (#1 nobody@nowhere.com) Email them with the stoopid address for verification. If I had been drinking coffee, I would have spit it on that grammar!
