It should be difficult to transfer, without proper documentation. For me, it was, as my registrar had ceased doing business. I was the registered owner, but without the registrar being the middleman, it was extremely difficult and time consuming to provide documentation to them indicating that I was the legitimate owner. It's deliberately difficult to prevent such domain hijacking. I don't know Paul's details, but I was commenting on the fact that I had to jump through hoops to change my information -- So I was surprised that Paul's nemesis was easy to do it (apparently) relatively easy. -- Steve +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Monday Aug 30 2004 10:01:02 PM EDT +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
