This whole domain bs is making me sick. I don't believe in rules and regs much but there needs to be some regulation for this domain registration BS. So where's the point in some corporation registering all domains that contain their trademark(s)? As if trademarks are the only legit use of certain words. So if some company trademarks my first name I can no longer use it???? As a matter of fact my first name is a trademark. Can I sue because my parents named me before that company was founded???? Or can I no longer use my name in public without adding this stupid circled R???? And on the same token where's the decency in registering a domain name without any reason but to charge some legit user an outrageous fee. Thsi is a crime for all I am concerned and should carry a stiff penalty. I can only say check out how the Canadian registrar works. It ain't perfect but it's darn well the next best thing! I love it! Yours truly....
