   My experts tell me that nobody will care if I use .com, even though I'm 
not making a business of ASCII art.

   I am choosing a domain name.  This is a help because I will be doing 
things like automated requests, a digest, etc. that will benefit from 
having control over varios email addresses.

   In other words, the requests will be sent to 'req...@boba.com', the 
digest sub would go to 'dig...@boba.com' or 'sub...@digest.boba.com', 
and eventually the rec.arts.ascii article submission address will be 
changed to 'art...@boba.com'.
