Hi there! SWITCH definitely pasted the line. Count me in for every fight against SWITCH.
Best regards, Alexis -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Viktor Steinmann Sent: Monday, July 12, 2010 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [swinog] Subliminal advertising / Spam from our domain registry switch/nic.ch I agree, that SWITCH should not have included this "switchplus" part in their info mail, as it's completely unrelated to the rest of the information. Also the banner on their website doesn't belong there, as no other entity can buy banner space there. The best reaction might be a letter to the federal competition comission (WEKO), since SWITCH is obviously using its (still) good name and user data to push a product/a company in an unfair way. I'm willing to sign such a letter, but I honestly wouldn't know, how to write one (lawyer's language...).
