Jeez, that's crazy.

I'm not sure if it's okay to post the name of the WhoIS but sure if the Mods wish to edit the post then fair enough.

The WhoIS were Who.is

Actually I can see this being a bit like an Abbot & Costello gag:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Who were the WhoIS you were talking about Dec?' ..

Who.is

'Yeah, the WhoIS .. who are they?'

No, they are Who.is ..

'Yeah, you said they were a WhoIS but which one?'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


And so on and so forth

Dec

As long as you don't post the whois for the domains you wanted to register it's fine. I really could do without more legal letters arriving on my desk

it's a well known loophole in the industry from what i read online, and one that appears will take a long time to fix.

Err no.

It's been more or less fixed with the changes in the fees that were passed at the last ICANN meeting
