I don't know which website you tried but our Nebula R&D website seems
fine. Perhaps you didn't remove the site mask. I "munge" the address
whenever I publish it. We really really really don't like spam here.
So when I use removemeNebula-RnD.com, spammers who harvest addresses
from forums will try the whole name, and of course that's not a valid
domain name. I expect humans to look at that, read the "removeme"
part, and ... remove it.

So, please visit this.site.minus.mungingNebula-RnD.com, or feel free
to email at TG@ remember-to-remove-thisNebula-RnD.com.

Thanks for asking.

Sorry .. i meant RD site

Did you try trigger on dict?

I have noticed that www.rainingdata.com works, but just rainingdata.com
does not. (I guess they do not have a default server for port 80
requests to rainingdata.com?) I have seen this for other domains as
well, but it is still pretty lame. The www prefix is a pain and totally
unnecessary imo if you are connecting via a browser. (Also, saying it
is worse: only one letter in the english alphabet has more than one
syllable; the fact that it has 3 syllables and is repeated 3 times is
really stupid.)

I agree completely on the WWW's... Do you remember in the early days
of the net explosion, announcers on football games would stumble over
the whole addresss.... http and slashes?

What are you up to these days? I met some gentlemen at the last SAPUG
that appear to have taken over your collection software??

Cheers

I report this every couple years to RD as a joke. They acknowledge
politely and thank me for pointing out something they didn't know.

I've reported this to other MV companies who seem equally surprised
and completely oblivious to what the problem is or how to fix it.

When I go to FUBAR.COM, I may want to buy some FUBAR. But when I get
a server error after waiting for 30 seconds, I may decide to buy from
someone else.

So everyone go to __your_own__ domain now.
No... not WWW.FUBAR.COM, just FUBAR.COM. If it doesn't work, like the
stupid real FUBAR.COM, (how FUBAR is that?) get someone to fix it. Do
you remember when people gave you a weird look because you didn't have
an email address? Do you remember when people gave you a weird look
because you didn't have a website? Well...
We're looking at you again...

Phew...

Checked mine.. (all of them)

and they work fine.

It's actually the main reason I took control of my own DNS tables...

This also bugs me - the fact that you are expected to use "www." in front of
the domain... There isn't any logical reason any more (not even sure there
ever was to be honest).

Can someone explain then why www would be the default ? - i have
numerous sub domains on the domains i administer and i set up the
precise one i want to be the default as the default - not always www !

Having said that a site admin should set up a default site for the
domain name ...

Well I would guess it would be the default for the domain?

I can understand in the early days of the www, when gopher.domain.com and
ftp.domain.com were probably high use that the www would have been required
to differentiate, but I would guess that apart from email (which probably
doesn't normally use a prefix to the domain either) most traffic to any
domain is www traffic so would be the "default".

We too have other sub-domains that we use...

You mean to say that Gopher is no longer the default place to go when
you need information? Oh my, no wonder I can't find anything these
days...
