Dellow Dot Nothing -- Empirical evidence that Dellows are not meant for the Internet
It doesn't matter what the top-level domain is, or where its owner originates, Dellows are simply not meant to own websites:
dellow.com - owned by Robbie Dellow of Australia. Hosted on a free Tripod membership with all the popups and ads that come with it. (There was an ad for 40-year-old virgins when I visited.) Not only that, but Mr. Dellow feels compelled to use Flash for everything -- annoying sounds, blurry text. Swell. Expiration date of domain: 2010.
dellow.net - owned by Marc Dellow of Great Britain. Not too sure where it's hosted, but I imagine the bland "FPWSWO error '800a0005' Invalid procedure call or argument /fpw_buildtheme_inc.asp, line 6'
error message would look the same pretty much everywhere. Expiration date of domain: 2010.
dellow.org - owned by Brian Dellow of the United States of America. Hosted at Geocities. Or at least, used to be: "Sorry, the page you requested was not found." Great. Expiration date of domain: 2006.
dellow.ca - owned by Les Dellow of Canada. Parked on a registrar's servers. Sadly, this is the best Dellow site thus far. Expiration date of domain: 2005. Oh yeah, Dad - renew your domain. And put up a website! :)
