<br>
This is the main point. I don't know anyone who's blocking new TLDs<br>
just for being new, other than a few hobbyists. But if you think<br>
about it for a few minutes, the only people who want bulk TLDs are<br>
crooks, for spam or for phish and malware landing pages. It is<br>
entirely reasonable to block an otherwise little used TLD if you see a<br>
spike of abuse from it.<br>
