Bruce,

Steve just sent this note to NANOG.

panix.com has apparently been hijacked. It's now associated with a different registrar -- melbourneit instead of dotster -- and a different owner. Can anyone suggest appropriate people to contact to try to get this straightened out?

I know Steve and you know me, so lets see if this is malfesance or error.

Eric
