Free advice. Bruce, Cliff and Chuck are people. Yes, even Chuck is a people. You want prompt service, you ask nice and you ask the right people and you don't assume there are facts not in evidence, like errors or malfeasence, when you could be solving the problem, before the facts could be in evidence.
Alexis Rosen of Panix was on the phone earlier today with the company attorney for melbourneit -- reputedly he was informed that even if the police called, they would not do anything about the problem until Monday their time. Alexis is a bit on the upset side, naturally -- his company is in serious trouble because of very obvious fraud, and waiting a few days isn't really something he can afford to do. (If you look at the whois records now in place for panix.com they're pretty clearly the result of fraudulent activity. There is a pretty clear attempt there to maximally obscure who has stolen the domain name -- this is clearly not an innocent mistake.) Perry
