	A few confused yokels have mentioned that they "never heard of FDO-Files.com!!!!!", well it's true, it was re-created at one time as fdo-files.com. The reason for the two names is because AOL, Inc managed to use their trademark rights through ICANN to get the domain taken away because it had "AOL" in the name. They controlled it for many years, but like much else at AOL, especially since Verizon took over, they have given up on caring about anything and let the domain lapse and now ~~a squatter has~~ it. Hopefully we can eventually give it a good home again.
