: I saw a series of posts on one of the newsgroups which gave a
: huge list of domain names which ha apparently been registered
: by Procter & Gamble. There was some people saying that it was
: a hoax, any know if it is true?I found the list below (only partialy listed list here) on a
newsgroup. I then checked some of the domain names at random
using the Internic WHOIS lookup and they are indeed registered
to Proctor & Gamble. So it is not a hoax, P&G have registered
hundreds of names. I have no idea why!ALWAYS.COM, DISHCARE.COM, DISHES.COM
