Two things:

1. When you reply to posts it makes it easier for others if
   you trim the item leaving only the relevent bit of any
   previous email. Your 'short and sweet' post was 12k long
   because of the previous post you 'replied' to - and the
   subject line was from this previous post as well which
   probably needed changing as well. You're
   new to the list so no problem - just good to know.

2. In my opinion you have made a mistake on a couple of
   fronts with regards to your domain name. Firstly
   one could go on forever with variations of liberal
   party as a domain name in .net, .org, .com etc and
   I think there is a lot to be said for any party to
   just use .org.au as they seem to have done.

   In fact a .com of some sort if probably the worst thing
   any political party could go for.

   The other problem is that its long and quite honestly who
   would bother with such a contrived domain name?
   
   "liberal.org.au" is far superior on all accounts.

(not to mention you probably won't be able to use the domain
name you have aquired anyway. See the 'sydneyoperahouse.net'
stories and others on the net for the latest legal problems
people who grab these sorts of names are facing.
