Come on ICANN / U.S. DoC and rest of the gang of reprobates - you have been exposed
for what you are.The longer you leave it - the worse it will get.

The

Unless
you have trouble using telephone, it is blinking simple.
Or are you too cowardly
to admit this?
More and more people are finding you out.
Here is article from
The Register. They are being a bit sarcastic, methinks:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/19177.html
We
support AOL's decision to take Aimster to an arbitrator for its unauthorised use
of the giant's trademark "AIM" or "America Online Instant Messenger". We also applaud
NAF's ability to override the rules in this very important matter and ignore the
fact that "aim" is also a verb and noun to rule in AOL's favour.
AOL quite rightly
has exclusive use of the word "aim" in Internet domains. But would you believe it,
hundreds of other cybersquatters have also tried to make successful businesses on
the back of AOL's technology.
This is disgraceful behaviour and we look forward
to the inevitable lawsuits that AOL will take out against them. In order to help
this champion of consumer rights, we have compiled a list of the worst offenders
and the ludicrous pseudonyms they have given themselves in the vain hope that they
will be viewed as legitimate.
Go to it, AOL! And NAF, you back it up (it'll be
worth your while).
