[Tfug] [OT] Domain name registrars: picks/pans?

[keith smith]

I think what he was referring to was the comment about controversies.  

The internet is a scary place and there are a number of rumors floating around about how different registrars have failed to hit the mark of being totally honest and exercising true integrity.  

Problem is we have not had a seat in the jury box and had a chance to examine the facts first hand. 

On the other hand we spend $8 or $10 ... maybe $40 for a domain and feel a sense of ownership to that digital property.  The domain might be worth untold millions someday.  However we do not have the clout to back it up.  I'm not sure there is a good resolution system for the protection of virtual property.

We're talking about the ORIGINATING domains for the spam; not some  
poor innocent Windows user or open relays. Godaddy refused to take  
those originating domains down.

What has that to do with Godaddy refusing to take down spammers'  
domains? Red herring perhaps?

Anybody would think you're involved with Godaddy in some way... whois  
flatwan.net... whois cactushosting.com

Oh... ahem.
