Re: Domain Registration Legalities

I don't like posting to this list, but I do like reading posts on a regular
basis. I've been a member of the html writers guild since Septemer of '96.
In August of '97, due to an unfortunate accident, I became paralized from
the chest down. Some members here might still know me as Jimmy21071(at)aol.com.
(but that email address is no longer valid) Getting to the point, this
scenerio is exactly the opposite of what has happened with my domain name. A
singular version of my domain name has been purchased just recently and i'm
not a happy camper. The owner of that site, went as far as registering their
website internationally and it looks like they have plans for designing the
web site in different languages too. I'm a little pissed seeing that when I
registered my web site, I checked out the singular version too. At at that
time, it was still available. I really didn't feel a need to reserve that
name because I am doing a group project. If it comes down to me needing to
do something about it, I believe all I have to do is show my records that
clearly state the date that my domain name was reserved.

As you slide down the bannister of life, may the spliters be pointed in the
right direction.
