And that really isnt an issue because congress cannot require adult sites to use it outside of the US - and that is the fault with all of the arguments by the "sky is falling" perpetrators - they discount the fact that the supreme court and congress as well as doj and everyone else that has been mentioned taking some "restricting" action only affect US based websites - therefore having no effect on anyone outside the US.
Secondly, anyone that does take any type of action, which I seriously doubt, would be immediately be ostricized by the family groups and conservatives as supporting the porn industry by giving it validity

Spooky - great meeting you as well

Since Im of the opinion that this little pushing of the xxx as a separate area for adults is a power/cash play by the registrar that won the contract for distributing the domains, I tend to disregard most of the news they publish - way too much "PR" and very little reality floating around about this - only problem is that if they were to get the backing of too many high profile adult side people (which I dont believe would really happen) the perception of a good idea would turn in to a reality by mass movement which seems to happen in any industry where there are no strong leaders or backers.
Fortunately most of the outspoken people on this issue so far have only been the adult news type people generating their readership-increasing fear-mongering just after the page views
