I don't want to sound like a broken record or state the obvious but...

I wasn't aware (and I am sure there are many in the same situation) that
Melbourne IT was willing to negotiate on historical domains until after the
legal action became public knowledge.

I am glad Melbourne IT is looking at this but why the hell didn't they say
so earlier?!
