Sorry Joe, 

I'm no longer at liberty to discuss this matter.

There's a leaker on this "Private" list and I just got contacted by an
Australian Barrister with a full copy of my post to this list, and no word
as to whom may have forwarded it.

To bring a piece of sobering reality to the leakage on a private list just
let me point out some earlier jokes from last week where I was the object.

"ver didst you put zee microfeesh Vladimer?"

Not always as funny as that is it people?

So I may start up my own cc list of people on this list of people I
"Think" I can trust.

i've changed the subject line - the other subject was geeting confusing.
the australian courst are a bit like the canadian courts - one good
example is the ontario court general division which in it's wisdom has
decided anything to do with the internet that affects a canadian is
subject to their jurisdiction.  and if for any reason you can't defend
yourself - bingo - your guilty.

Yes but all that was about the threat of Leah being sued. not about them
having grounds to sue others.
My point was that someone (cant remember who) figured she was about to be
sued and I was scratching my head wondering (even in the US) how they could
come up with something?

You mentioned irreparable harm.
Isn't Atlantic Root Network Inc., (Leah and Karl) being harmed by the
publicity of people offering "pre-registrations" for .biz when there
aren't any, and have never been any "pre-registration" programs for a
registry that only offers "Live Registrations"?
Isn't that also fraud, since they have never been accredited by the
Registry that is the only authority that can accept such agreements to
allow other registrars to accept registrations for .biz?
Aren't they causing harm by stating that it isn't yet available when it
is?
The PacificRoot is all over the search engines and .BIZ was featured in
Wired magazine among others.
