And it is just that, my *opinion*. Not everyone has had the same experiences
you have. Not everyone learns the same thing you do. From my *current*
experience, NDRs are not necessary. That experience may change, or may not.

I've been tested in many, many ways, all I'm sure are different from the life
tests you have taken. That's experience, and that is why no two people have the
same experience.

I'm guessing that statement is not entirely truthful. The more users you have
on the internet, the more possibilities there are that your domain name will get
out. More users going to a wider variety of NGs and websites. More potential
for users to be scammed or redirected to illegimate pages.

It's working for me right now. If it stops working for me, I'll search for a
better solution.
