Or discovering someone, as a joke, registered myemployer-sucks.com under my email address and contact information. I just requested the password, it was emailed to me, and I changed the information to some bogus info right away, but not before my ass was kicked at work by management. They have no interest in keeping the domain (It's actually a play on words, we already own the -sucks version of the name, and it was decided that keeping one play on words would be bad, if someone discovered it, they might think of other variations), and I was asked to delete it. This was, of course, not possible. There are situations where deletions have a certian use... -- The nice thing about standards, there is enough for everyone to have their own.
