Hi Richard,

Thanks for your update on developments. I got icannatlarge.org by
myself, so to speak. It is not that difficult, if you know how expired
names are handled. Anyway, the organization can have it, naturally.

Let me know what to do with it, and it will be arranged in no time.
For now I have set up the dns so that it points to the
icannatlarge.com website, both with and without www. I hope that is
OK.

Best wishes,

Marc
