It's perfectly NORMAL. Just the owners of SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM, BEYONDWHOIS.COM, SHQIPHOST.COM, NASHHOST.NET and UNIMUNDI.COM playing games.
It's "expected" behavior of the WHOIS implementation, the "games" involving creating WHOIS lookup ambiguity are not very amusing. Using <Other existing Domain Name>.<Global TLD name>.<Your Domain> as the name of a nameserver with the registry should be considered abuse. I would like to see the registry refuse future registrations of <Global TLD>.<Domain> as a nameserver, for 3-letter TLD names. In addition, no new global TLD names should be created.
It would just be nice if "single out" actually worked. :-) Mark -- -JH
