Thanks Eric... Just trying to understand it.. and why someone would do it. I suppose their is no way to prevent it???

I tried one and had a terrible time getting all the extension to work, right now I am linking to "everywhois.net" which I would rather not do but I came upon it through the years with an old registrar...
