NEW
".sheesh" TLD ANNOUNCED
Australia
(January 29, 1998) -
The Australian
Root Server Confederation (AURSC) and the
International Root Server Confederation (IRSC) are
pleased to announce, in cooperation and with
permission from Ellen Rony, a new
TLD.
The TLD known as
.SHEESH was created by Adam Todd, AURSC founder, as
a gift for Ms. Rony in response to the number of
times she has had to say "Sheesh!"
to
the gTLD/CORE process in the domain policy mailing
list.
Todd
explained, "I felt some kind of site was needed
since it appears Ellen was the first to make the
"Sheesh!" comment in a public forum. Considering
its adoption by many others over the past two
years, I'm sure the site will provide a legacy of
entertainment."
Ms. Rony
will no doubt post a tribute to those who have
recently used the expression on the web site entry
point at http://www.domainhandbook.com/sheesh.html.
People saying "Sheesh!" range from AURSC and IRSC
founder, Adam Todd, to many of the Domain Policy
List subscribers.
Revenues from
.SHEESH TLD registrations will be used to promote a
200-step recovery program for sufferers of Post
Traumatic Sea Monkey Syndrome (PTSMS), also known
in the non-medical community as SMAD (Sea Monkey
Affective Disorder). According to sea monkey pundit
Ralf,
the Librarian,
PTSMS is "an ailment from whose intense grief,
remorse, brain damage, and social stigmatization
complete recovery isn't possible. I'm afraid any
hope of full recovery is unrealistic given today's
medical knowledge. In fact, such belief is probably
just another one of PTSMS' many
manifestations.".
