Right, listen up guys.

This site and the domain name has NOTHING to do with the British domain name company called Nominet.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

This sure isn't 'passing off' and it don't make any claims to be anything to do with anything.

So why is this British company hasslin' me and my host?

Simple - because they can!

Hell, the dudes didn't even offer to buy it off me, they just storm in with the jackboots and suits, it sure isn't my fault that they were too dumb to register it for themselves, they had plenty opportunity to do, if it was gonna be this important to them. I registered it way after .name was introduced. I don't have any intention of sellin it or using it for anything other than in connection with my family name and for email. Any web site is there because it's there and it's NOTHING to do with NOMINET IN THE UK, right ?

Read their mail!

STATEMENT BY THE HOST:

We host this domain for a customer and personal friend of the owner.
At no point has this site, until now, had anything to do with Nominet UK
(the domain name registry for .uk) Furthermore, at no point, apart from the
FQDN itself, has the name 'Nominet' ever been used.

The domain was registered in full accordance with the scope of '.name'.

At NO POINT has the registrant contacted Nominet with an offer to sell the domain.
At NO POINT has the domain been used maliciously against Nominet UK.
At NO POINT has the domain name EVER been used in ANY WAY that purports to have any connection with Nominet UK.
The domain name is not registered in, not has it ever been used in 'bad faith'.
The domain name is not registered by a 'domainer', neither is it "CyberSquatting".

In the correspondence above and previously via email, Nominet UK have made a number of serious and malicious allegations without foundation.
We strongly refute these allegations.

The domain name is being actively used, albeit NOT for http services.

We therefore believe that Nominet UK are again acting in an aggressive, officious and heavy-handed manner, without foundation and not in the interests of Nominet stakeholders.

On behalf of the legal Registrant and ourselves, we immediately request and require a full retraction and apology from Nominet UK.
