BTW: Inter@ctive Week magazine did an article this week on the WhoIs problem at InterNIC (with contributions by yours truly). I haven't seen it yet (not a commonly-carried magazine 'round here) but it should be good.

Well, sorta. First, note my sig and then look at the alleged name of my business in the article. The company is PC-Easy...we provide on-site computer services. Randy and I have exchanged several emails and he's called me at least three times...you'd think he'd get the name right. Second, based on the emails I gave him, the article is extremely weak. I haven't seen the print version, perhaps it's better. But a good analogy would be to have presented a reporter gruesome, in-depth details of a messy murder and see the entire story be "Man killed". Third, the information is wrong. I told Randy about the Martianconsulate.com record, I've been tracking them since last September, and to the best of my knowledge they've never listed their address as anything but North Wales, PA. They did, however, use the 555-1212 phone number. Incidently, that number was deleted from the record by NSI...which makes the record even MORE in violation of the Registration Agreement...and it's still an active record. Still....it's better than no publicity at all, I suppose. Spam: it's not just for breakfast anymore.... Dean Robb PC-Easy On-site computer services (757) 495-EASY [3279]
