Absolutely.  But then, why this auction, if not to cash in on people or
corporations who still believe that sort of hype?  What higher motive?

Hopefully Adrian gets logistics.com.au without having to outbid some
multinational myth-believer .. but I can read, and he's not sure yet.

And valuable or not, I look forward to bidding results for bank.com.au
and suchlike.  Or will results be secret?  Much for a Board to ponder.
