Registrar Told To Stop Direct-Mail Scare-Tactics
kiwimate writes "This article says the Domain Registry of Europe has been ordered by the Advertising Standards Authority to cease and desist on a direct mail campaign that was "distressing and intimdating to recipients" and "misleadingly exaggerated the importance and status of its content". The letter suggested that domain names should be renewed at least 30 days before they expired, and gave recipients an easy option of renewing through the DR of E. Having had to deal with this from an almost identically named company in America, the quoted phrases don't seem nearly as sneaky and dirty as some I've seen, but it's good to see a precedent."
I feel your love.

First of all you must be funny. Slashdot moderators don't seem to get out much and find many things funny. (-1, Flamebait)

Three Always say Open Source is a good idea. (-1 Troll)
Four when all else fails poke fun at Taco! (-1 Offtopic)
Five Always have a few cheezy one liners handle..

(No fair pushing it in with your feet.)
Where else do you think goatse.cx was registered?
You need to put a lock on your front door so your wife doesn't get "bagged" ny the mailman. It would be awful to have that happen to her a second time. :)
1) rip up literature and place in envelope
2) prick yourself and add some human blood for effect
3) write "suck my cock you evil fucking demons" on the back.
4) send away with a smile on your face
