That's annoying. I know that dfdl.org was available when I chose the 
name, and I bought the domain at the time as a place holder. My 
ownership must have expired...:(

I notice that dfdl.info is still available perhaps you could get 
ascential to park that one too?

Also if we were to spell it dafodel (Um yuk), dafodel.org and 
dafodel.com are (not surprisingly still available).
