Why? I've got email from their brass admitting that their PGP authentication doesn't work; you can register using any name, city, phone number or DNS server you want (whether they exist or not; you don't even have to use numbers in the phone number area); they refuse to administer WhoIs in any manner whatsoever; they can't even afford anyone to answer the phones anywhere but on the payment lines.
For a good example of this, whois perhaps.youwant.to, then nslookup perhaps.youwant.to. It looks like someone tried to pull a Kashpureff that didn't really succeed. The nslookup version of perhaps.youwant.to came first, by the way. So what can we do to actually get something done about it? Anyone? -dalvenjah -- Dalvenjah FoxFire (aka Sven Nielsen) "Life is anything that dies when Founder, the DALnet IRC Network you stomp on it." -Dave Barry e-mail: dalvenjah@dal.net WWW: http://www.dal.net/~dalvenjah/ whois: SN90 Try DALnet! http://www.dal.net/
