I have to disagree. Unscrupulous business practices are still unscrupulous, regardless of whether they try to dress them up. There's no reason that an URL should be automatically up for re-sale. As I stated in another e-mail, phone bills that go unpaid don't automatically mean that the delinquent phone number can be claimed by another. This is a failure on Dotster's part, and you'd think that they would be interested in protecting their *existing* customers and ensuring their happiness. When corporations get power- and money-hungry they do tend to become unscrupulous (e.g. Monsanto, Nike (who *still* hasn't cleaned up its human rights record... for that matter, they're pretending like they have rights to freedom of speech as a corporate entity ;), ENRON). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
