I got all the big mail order house domain's - now waiting for threatening letters from their law departments. You mean like EddieBauer, LandsEnd, and Bean??? Cool! I've heard that brand name firms are winning their names back from domain name "grabbers" and that even names which are also common words are being granted back to the corporations. Have you heard similar stories?

BTW, I don't recommend using whois.net to check on an AVAILABLE name although it is great to search for partial names. I once used it to check on "outhouse.com" for my wife's sister's store ("The Outhouse" - I know, tacky, but there's a reason) and it was available. I checked two weeks later and it was owned by Prodomains.com After thinking about it, I could imagine a company like whois.net printing a list of all the searches which failed to find names, so they could be reviewed for the choicest names to tie up for sale later. I don't know if they do this or even have an association with Prodomains.com, but now I don't take the chance. I use networksolutions.com instead.
