to. You quite truly have done nothing wrong and never intended to. There are a 
number of other "nhs" SLDs going now that are easily more confusing than yours 
and have almost no meaning. I would like to see you transfer it to someone who 
is up for a little fun to see just how it would turn out. It would be sad to 
see a precedent set that a bully act like a bully and be rewarded for 
it!!!<br><br>-Karl E. Peters, President<br>Top Level Domain Association,

domain name <a href="http://www.nhs.info"; target="_blank"

I've decided I want to delete the domain. It's too much hassle for me to engage 
in any kind of legal battle over this particular name, which does not interest 
me enough to defend it.</font></div> <div><font size="2"
