Hi Josh et all,

I saw this one too today. A customer was quite paniky that this implied
that they would lose their business name if they did not register every
variant of their domain name.

All about education i keep hearing. All about less deception i keep
saying.

Nicely worded though, arnt they?

Cheers,

drew
