I applied for melbpc.org.au in late 1993 or early 1994 and kre gave me
melbpcug.asn.au or something like that. I insisted on melbpc.org.au because
at the time our counterpart groups in the US were halpc.org, nypc.org, etc
and our logo said Melb PC. I think he wrote back explaining why asn.au was
better, but when I insisted, he said "OK" and approved it.
