George and all,
Thank you for providing this very interesting turn of events and
follow on information. It should be remembered that Domain Name
tasting currently is not an "Illegal" practice, and in fact has been
tacitly encouraged by ICANN. However perhaps Domain Name
tasting should be made illegal by federal statute, or some sort of
specific regulation, which is the method I personally would prefer,
in order to discourage such a practice. But I am not holding my
breath on seeing Domain Name Tasting subsiding any time soon...
