    Well, it's no hoax: http://www.getmy.us/rfjf is NeuStar. Beyond that I just think it's tacky. -g

    ICANN is blameless. .US is not under ICANN. Time to open a Neustarwars.org?

    Just today in the mail I got a mail from my registrar, DomainDiscover, that has a similar message. Really makes me sad, since in other respects (e.g. policy) they've been a good registrar for me.

    They are trying to ride on the patriotism of you yanks, based upon a tragic event. It's sick. Had they wanted such a campaign, they could have chosen aid to victims families or even a donation to the American Red Cross.

    The fund that they intend to donate the money towards provides bribes to informants. Bribes. Think of what those informants do with the money. Disgusting. Neulevel should be ashamed.

    Lately I've been getting an increase of shotgun spam, sent to *@myISP.com, but that is rare, ISP's generally have the tools to block it once it starts, a good reason not to call yourself aardvark. -g
