Not really - but some things can be done. For example ensuring that the next
"T.R.A.F.F.I.C" conference is held at a Days' Inn and catered out of Wendy's
rather than a Marriott at a beach resort?  Like if Yahoo Overture / Google
Ads decide they can do without ppc revenue from tasted / parked domains ..

Google seems to be considering this for example. That'd make the domain
bubble explode for sure (something Karl would love, I know what he feels
about add grace, and it is one of the few areas I agree with him)
