<p><span class=rvts7>&gt; Karl � as far as what you went through, that�s a 
whole difference scenario and Is really a scam in that aspect, but easy to 
fulfill.&nbsp; The scammer will just search the .org/.net database, index it, 
and compare any existing registered .net/.org domains and register the 
corresponding .com (as in your case).&nbsp; Send out an automatic email stating 
that they want to sell you the domain and charge you a hideous fee ($295) for 
the services.&nbsp; I personally don�t see that as �tasting� but on the lines 
of extorting.&nbsp; Tasting is where the perp samples the traffic and keeps it 
if they see it valuable.&nbsp; Its one thing whether or not they contact 
you.&nbsp; If they register and �taste� it vs. register and �extort� it are two 
different birds.</span></p>

<p>Shane,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Yes, it may be a different application of 
tasting, but it was a clear derivative of tasting, in that during the time of 
the "offer to sell", the domain was not available and one week later, it was. 
What other mechanism would allow for this without actually registering the 
domain for a year?&nbsp; Please also answer my challenge about a company that 
actually tasted hundreds of domains for their own end use and decided in a few 
days which ones were not needed. This is important, because the only examples 
of this "tasting" people can see is the very negative aspect. Please show me 
people or companies that actually use it as designed.</p>
