[Novalug] Domain name blues

[Mike Shade]

Ok, but how do you define a 'non-site'.  Most folks who own these aggregate
sites will tell you that they really do add value, or provide a service to
anyone who searches for that term and lands on their page.  Sure, their
links are all sponsored.

Basically, you need to have someone to draw that line, and no one will ever
agree to who that should be, or where that line is drawn.
