It was painful for the ISP, especially since it happened during the time that Verisign's sitefinder was live, which caused e-mail to ISP customers to be hard bounced from Verisign and people looking for their web page to be presented with a "this domain is not registered" page instead of a browser error. It's well worth avoiding, even without the additional sitefinder complications :-) Joe
