I wondered why one of the few registered hosts for Microsoft were called "Bob" - now it makes sense. (But they've got a good sized chunk of netblks registered...)
Funny thing happened to me last night. I was talking to a guy who had seen Fidelity's new WWW server (shhh! don't tell!) and it turns out he was the guy who actually *had* bob.com. A third party approached him and asked him if he wanted to sell the domain name. He did. He picked another domain name, and last week someone called him if he wanted to sell his *new* domain name. He said no, and they asked him if he would *rent* it to them... Go figure.

From: rah@shipwright.com (Robert Hettinga) Eric, what'll you take for "remailer.net"? ;-). Addresses under remailer.net will be available to operators of approved remailers. Approved is yet to be defined, so no one could possibly satisfy the conditions for it yet. In the meanwhile, I'm using as a vanity license plate. Eric
