does anyone know - in order to register a .org domain
- do you REALLY need to be a non-profit, in the
technical, IRS sense of the word?  (as I remember it,
there's a _LOT_ of paperwork to be filled out)

Anyway - I suspect that in order to not get in trouble
for registering fordummies.org, the organization has
to have something to do with things for dummies, needs
to have some basis for taking the domain, as opposed
to just sitting on another company's popular name. 
(is a list of social services and institutions, help
900#'s, ect. for developmentally challenged, low IQs,
ADD/HDADD, ect, in bad taste?)

then, of course, there's always the media exposure to
consider, in getting sued for fordummies.org.

but being anal about them to the point of infringing
on 1st Ammendment right is a baaaaaad thing)
