I never mentioned @cowboys.com, so I fail to see why you bring me about that.

The point is you claim to be an Innocent Bystander when you aren’t – I have no vested interest in Cowboys.com (nor in domains – I don’t sell domains). But you have a very interested in the Cowboys brand.

Again – gutless move.

As for the emails – as long as they don’t do anything associated with football, that is as far as it goes. If it wants to offer @cowboys.com, that is their prerogative. They want to put gay porn on it – again, their prerogative.

The entire point is that this dilutes the Cowboys brand. If you are okay with that (and I guess your bosses too) – that is your decision. This isn’t about # of visitors.
