Yes, this has been noticed. Also, in another news flash, all your base are now belong to us. http://www.geeklife.com/files/ayb2.swf thanks /vijay
I saw this on another list and have been thinking about it some. Aren't there laws which prohibit the US government from selling personal data? And since NSI is under contract to the US government, wouldn't the list be considered as a sub-contracted asset? Any lawyers in the house?

Yes, but same damn thing. I was never asked if I wanted to check off "Do not solicit". My record was created when some of the people at NSI gave a hoot. I used to respect Network Solutions. "Used to" is the key phrase. -M Regards, -- Martin Hannigan hannigan@fugawi.net Fugawi Networks Engineering Boston, MA http://www.fugawi.net Ph: 617.742.2693 Fax: 617.742.2300
