No, you don't understand the term "didn't fit".

My ficticious company "skateboards" "didn't fit" in .com because someone
else had registered skateboards.com prior. So I went for skateboards.org
instead.

That's the way's it's been. Verisign/NSI marketing will back me up on this,
I'm sure. Archives of their marketing material sure will.

And I always thought .com was supposed to be for communists. Boy! Don't I
look stupid!

I guess you're now gonna tell me that .coop isn't for chickens?

barcelona.com stolen, stmoritz.com stays. What's uniform about the UDRP?
We could ask ICANN to send WIPO a clue, but do they have any to spare?
