(...) Aaaah. OK. I thought maybe someone had been in touch and tried to tell you they had some kind of right to the domain. There are a number of reasons that we have an ironclad case with the InterNIC for keeping the name, though, so I don't think (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
