Only one comment has been received regarding the suitability of a domain name

I would like to make couple general comments:

 1. Based on what I know how webspiders operate, names that start with
    "spf" would have highier visibility. In particular if choosing between
    spf-?.org and ?-spf.org then spf-? variant is better. Names that are
    simply "spf.?" will have even highier visibility given all other
    aspects being equal.
 2. Very few popular domain names that I know of have "-" in the name.
    Why I don't know for sure and never looked at it, but I suspect for
    people its easier to remember the word all-together and they forget
    that "-" is required.
 3. In general system name or domain name by which its known should not
    contain more then 2 combined keyword (or language root). This is
    also something with language but it seems people (except scientists),
    do not like names that are too long and too complex. The only exception
    for this is acronyms - and that they exist is exactly for the reason
    that people don't want to pronounce and use long name.
