It is quite strange. I did some more checking, to see whether it is true
that *all* three character .com are gone. A lot are *not* in the file,
well some aren't. I did a check on some odd ones, like 7**.com. Those that
are not in the file are now all registered, some as early as March. And
with different registrars. Really beats me. And I was so happy I could
register 7SR.com. Alas :-))
