Maybe a mailing list for those of us interested. I'm hearing lots of
rumbling about folks *already* doing a boycott. I know *I* am.

Banner contest? I see an animated GIF

199* etoy gets domain name [etoy logo]
199* etoys gets domain name [etoys logo]
1999 etoys sues etoy for infringment [etoy "vs." etoys logos]
1999 etoy is the bad guy for infringement
In a rational world, the first one with the name would win.

  * what are the *real* dates - how can we get the original dates the
names were registered?
