No I don't. To quote Andrew Dice Clay, "NSI can..." Well, you know. I refuse to be bound by rules and regulations that NSI them selfs arbitrarily ignore. How many others have received both email and snailmail from NSI, addressed to a name you use ONLY for domain registrations, offering you some commercial service of NSI?
Or, perhaps more hilariously, how many people have gotten "You've been pre-approved!" credit card offers explaining how their role account (e.g. "DALnet Hostmaster") has been carefully selected among hundreds of potential applicants for a credit card? *Someone's* obviously been mining the whois database and giving it to direct mailers. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were NSI. -dalvenjah -- Dalvenjah FoxFire (aka Sven Nielsen) "We've lost the bleeps, the creeps, Founder, the DALnet IRC Network and the sweeps!"
