I have nothing to hide. I work for the American Association of
Orthodontists, which has determined that we can only use one domain. We want
to promote our main site and have people remember the name, so we send
people that want to get to the sites of our affiliated organizations to our
main site, then link to the other sites from there without using domain
names. I didn't say I agree with that policy. Let's have a little more
optimism here - I'm not doing any of those things.
