Like, say, somebody trying to register a .com domain with the words "ebay" and "sign in" in it? Isn't it pretty obvious that something might be going on here?

Mikko is a really great guy, and he does a lot. Still, he has never shown interest in getting actively involved with any of our operational groups and making a difference. Good quote, though.
Hear, hear. This is an outrageous problem and should be properly addressed. Also, domain registrars need to STOP incentivizing their customers to practice "domain tasting" -- the practice is rife with abuse. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.1 (Build 1557) wj8DBQFFdbcYq1pz9mNUZTMRAhl0AKDByI+6aVJ7F3IcW9Q1fod3zhvt3ACgwE5+ ibU4rHbU8z12C+n1eAy5zgA= =EANi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
