In reply to Jeff Yablon.

restriction is a particular flavor of behavior.

what would it look like, if the WPF actively promoted as many domain names with "wordpress" in them as possible, creating, for example, a kind of certification process for more skilled service providers?

is the underlying assumption of the restrictive behavior, the absolute stupidity of the "masses?"

how naive do you need to be, online, to be unable to distinguish between domains like w-o-r-dpress.com and w-o-r-dpress.org -- and domains like "thew-o-r-dpresshelpers.com" and "fansofw-o-r-dpress.com?"

my domain, purchased for comedic and contemplative purposes, w0rd.press, is open for discussion.
