I believe "Plankenstein" was working on the principle that even if half his names
were challenged, he'd still be left with the other 2000 names, and it was a calculated
investment. Indeed I can't see people challenging half his names (or even more than
20). So the crucial question is : will Afilias fork out to challenge all 3981 names?
And do they have an arrangement with WIPO, or do they stand to lose $75 a time? It
will be interesting to see the outcome (especially as Plankenstein has even got Greenland,
and I wanted that one for a climbing site)
