At 08:59 PM 2/18/99 -0500, Eric Poole so eloquently stated:
>Here's a good one for you.

>The story is real, the names were changed to protect the guilty bastards
>... ;-)
>
>Fred and Ralph were competitors. Then one day Fred bought Ralph out, and
>Ralph went to work for Fred in some sort of senior management capacity.
>
>Fred is, and was at the time, a client of mine, with a website that we host
>called www.fred.com. After he bought Ralph out, he had me change the title
>of his web page from "Fred's Corp" to "Fred's Corp and Ralph's Corp", had
>me register the ralph.com domain with Fred as owner of the domain, and had
>me point www.fred.com and www.ralph.com to Fred's page. So far so good.
>
>Well, here recently, it seems that Fred and Ralph must have had a falling
>out or something (I'm not sure of the details and don't particularly want
>to know), because Fred sold Ralph his company back and they went their
>separate ways. Shortly thereafter, Ralph signed up with us to host their
>new website, and asked me to point www.ralph.com to their new website. I
>said I couldn't do that, because Fred still owns the ralph.com domain and
>he (Ralph) would have to take it up with Fred. I did agree to disconnect
>www.ralph.com from Fred's site and leave it unconnected while Fred and
>Ralph duked it out. That was likely my big mistake.
>
>Next thing I know Fred is on the phone, upset because www.ralph.com doesn't
>point to their (Fred's) website anymore (virtually no one ever accesses
>Fred's site via www.ralph.com anyway ... they all go in via www.fred.com
>... but that's evidently beside the point).
>
>By now you've guessed my dilemma ... if I connect www.ralph.com back up to
>Fred, Ralph will get mad, and if I don't, Fred will get mad.
>
>I would like to keep them both as clients.
>
>What would you do?
>
Create a new domain called ralphfred.com
