Hahaha, I laughed for ages after reading this.....that's a classic

Thanks for all the advice guys. I think I need to get a harder edge to my business practices - loads of great stories here and lots for me to think about.

I'll let you know what happens in due course.

Stephen.

How exactly is this funny? The company in question was naieve, but by domainer's own admission he registered the second domain in the worst form of bad faith, in the hope that he could hold them to ransom over it.

Pretty wretched behaviour really.

I too thought it was fantastic. A little shady maybe, but you have to be on the ball all the time and the company in question were sadly lacking.

Yeah but you have a history of registering names in bad faith, so your view is unsurprising. I imagine Ricky Gervais would agree with me on this.

I'm OK, thanks! Actually I was wondering if you had a good defence for your position, obviously not!
