<h1>schmoop.com</h1>
Hello, and thank you for choosing schmoop.com, the top-rated
example-domain
on the internet. Here at schmoop.com you'll never be bothered by long
lines, delayed flights, or nasty stewardesses....that's not what we're
about. We're just here to provide a domain for people to use in their
documentation that doesn't have any weird stuff on it. That way the lusers
who feel the need to go to every website listed in every piece of
documentation they read, even when it is clearly listed purely as an
example, won't have anything to get upset about.<p>

foo.com? it exists, but lusers who try to look at it will just hang in the
void, because "There is an entry for this host, but it doesn't have the
information you requested."

<p>
You don't wanna send your lusers there.
Use schmoop.com. The friendly example-domain. 
<p>
Don't use yourdomain.com, mydomain.com, hisdomain.com, or herdomain.com -
that will just annoy Avi, Gail, and JD. Use schmoop.com - the
example-domain with a difference!!
