Or maybe these are also the "adult site operators"? At a conference I tried accessing ESPN web site :) by typing in the URL - typed sportszone.espnet.com by mistake (instead of espnet.sportszone.com) - and was surprised by the "Click if you are over 18" message... have heard from others that several other mis-spellings also lead to similar sites. Any trademark protection ("webmarks?") available to the folks who run these popular sites? -amit :> I have found that most of the common mis-spellings of our domain name :> have been registered with the Internic by a company named Americaoffline. :Yup. They've been busy registering dropped-letter variants of many :folks. All the zones I've looked at are merely wildcard A records, not :purposeful hosts. I was sorely disappointed that :http://www.americaoffline.com/ contains no references to malicous nor :humourous stuff. Personally, I was hoping for large-scale lampooning. :Nothing at the real provider's home base, INSTANET.COM, reveals anything :of interest. Some kook thinking he can auction off typo domains?
