     Mr.  Baptista,
     
     Thank you for your email and voice mail alerting me to your findings 
     as provided below.  As you may know, on October 1, of 1997, the United 
     States General Services Administration assumed registration authority 
     of the DOT-GOV domain name space.  Network Solutions, the previous 
     keeper and manager of this domain, would occasionally grant a request 
     like the one below not knowing if in fact the request met the 
     requirements for the domain.  A few have requests have been granted 
     and were given domain names.  We refer to these as "Grandfathered" 
     domain names since they approved prior to October 1, 1997.  
     
     Since the US GSA has taken over as manager of the domain I can assure 
     you that we have not allowed a single request from any Government 
     outside of the United States to register within the domain. We still 
     receive several requests from all around the world but we scrutinize 
     each one before deciding action.  
     
     To answer your question; No, I can not allow you a domain name within 
     the DOT-GOV name space since you do not represent a valid United 
     States Government organization listed within the United States 
     Government Manual.  And I can't help you in your search for drugs 
     either.
     
     Regards,
     Gary Borgoyne
     Domain Manager

I would like to try out some of the drugs the Metropolitin Toronot Police 
and the dot.gov registrar is on - they must be good.  I am in the process 
of compiling the bind reports on the United States Government dns servers 
when I ran across a little anomily - one I have no intention of
over looking.
     
Why Mr. Borgoyne and Mr. Trauzzi is the Metropolitan Toronto Police, a 
provincial and municipal agency in Canada, the holder of a US government 
domain?  And can I get one too?
     
Twits - this world is full of twits on very bad drugs.
