However Theo Hnarakis, chief executive officer and managing director of the company, denied Melbourne IT had been slow to act. "Alex Rosen contacted me at midday Sunday and within 24 hours we ascertained that his complaint was genuine and transferred the domain back," he said. Hmm.... I wonder if Mr. Hnarakis would feel that 24hrs of having a business effectively shut down would feel like such a brief period if it were his own. That comment seems perhaps a bit callous, or at best poorly informed of the situation. But the fact that the "time to verify validity" card was played here only strengthens the justification for an automatic rollback as was suggested already. Let the lawyers battle it out, but let them do it while things are working. regards, Steve
