Isn't there a sleaze clause anywhere in the ICANN regs? Thats just too slimy to be allowed...*jeez*..that puts Netsol up past DoubleClick in terms of slimy.
For concerts, shows, etc, they call that scalping. Most places try to stop that, but this is almost as if TicketMaster were scalping its own tickets... -bryanw -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of SpyProductions, Inc.

If Netsol died I wouldn't poke it with a stick for fear it may take my stick and beat me to death with it, even in a state of rigormortis. Yes, I believe, after all I've witnessed in my so-far short period of time here, that NetSol is scanning the domains that people check out. I also believe that if you dig really deep you'll find that NetSol owns those "companies". Where they are concerned I don't believe in coincidence. Just my opinion though...chances are someone will find me on a dark street tonight and break my kneecaps for saying this.
