GoDaddy bullying tactics

[Joshua Zeidner]

 I just want to say GoDaddy is absolutely incorrigible!  There was another
similar complaint on AZIPA not so long ago, the accusation was that GoDaddy
was brokering the WHOIS queries to domain squatters. I had thought that
GoDaddy would not engage in such activities, but now I have my doubts.

 I still don't understand why people don't use subdomains more often.  If
domain names are the new real estate, what are subdomains, the new condos?
