Oh, I see it now. It's like different levels of filter, you progress towards
ultimate kill-file where he can no longer see your messages?

He's a domain squater, which are becomming illegal as if you registered the domain
first, you have a layover period of 1-2 years, due to some sort of law they're
passing to get rid of these squatters. All they do is sit and wait for the old owner
to come back and pay them 4x's as much as they paid.

Basically, a get rich quick scheme (which are illegal, this is a form of the pyramid
scheme). We may actually have a case against these people, if we bring this to the
US courts, if we have a substantial amount of people coming forward to support it.

This wasn't spam, nor is it considerably close enough. I have a couple of characters
in my head who'd report that as spam.

Yes, the defamation of character is another thing, as it wasn't intended to be SPAM
in nature. To the person that did report this. Have you not seen SPAM *ever* before
in your life? It is such things as "Get rich quick!!!!!!!" and maybe "FREE CELEBS
NUDE."

Hundreds of people e-mailing because they *care* is entirely different then recieving
hundreds of e-mails of spam from one e-mail account just to get you to look at their
page. It's like people e-mailing their senators to get a law changed, or to the
leader of a country to not go to war. It *IS* not SPAM. This cause is justifiable
and has a purpose. It would be spam if 100's of people wrote "you sux," but alphabit
seems more trying to promote intelligent e-mails to the company in question.

Even closer consideration of this makes me think more so that this would win a case
in a small claims court, and even the further up you get (consumers are protected
before businesses) it would still win. $10,000 is a little asinine, even in web
standards. Unless we're talking about aol.com or the likes.

> Cyber Squatting is the practice of registering a desirable domain name in the hope
that you will be able to sell it to someone else for a much inflated price.

How was I wrong with this? That is exactly what this guy is doing, I don't think
he's made too much money. Most Cyber Squatters register names that expire and were
really popular. In hopes the owner will come back and increase their profit 500%
(they register for $10 and charge them $50).

It would, this is how a few of the squatters get the domains they want. The only
thing I can suggest is to take it to court as an intellectual copyright (and have
proof you owned it first and the original owner has vanished).

This is making me think of when my English teacher drilled it into my head that
"fishes" was not the correct term to describe more than one fish. It seems both are
accepted and I'm completely lost as to what's right.

Taken from dictionary.com and from the American heritage dictionary on my lap:

fish Pronunciation Key (fsh)
n. pl. fish or fish·es ( <~~~~ fishes is the plural of fish... we were lied to)
Any of numerous cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates of the superclass Pisces,
characteristically having fins, gills, and a streamlined body.

[View Quote] LoL :). Why's it in our dictionaries?? *burns british fishes* Apparently it's the
plural for finch too, and finch falls under the same rule, you have many finch. I
guess everything that's like that is pluralized to fishes. The moose plural will now
be refered to as fishes, marklar (south park thing)?
