You're dangerously close to encroaching on established names. *The Aero Club of America
was the predecessor of the National Aeronautics Association. *More importantly, the Aero
Club of Washington atwww.aeroclub.orgstill is an ongoing operation. *Did you consult a
lawyer before settling on that name and a URL that differs only slightly from an
established, respected entity?

This may or may not be illegal, but it most definitely can be interpreted as an attempt to
exploit an existing name. *It's not as odious as the attempts by individuals in the early
days of the Internet to claim "squatter's rights" by registering obvious corporate URLs in
the hope of selling them to the corporation, but you really ought to consider using a name
that cannot be confused with an existing website.

Thanks for your advice, John.
I don't really want to be confused with Aero Club of Washington or
Aero Club de France www.aeroclub.com
I just want to set up an open and free space to share aviation
documents online and to create groups of pilots in any "real" aero
club. So I will soon add an "about us" page to describe how "Aero Club
aeroclub.net" was founded and how it works.
