Jon,
What the hell are you guys doing over there?

I think this gives the entire industry a bad name! Personally I think it is
unethical and hope that you go fire the person that thought this was a good
idea. Network Solutions just gave themselves a huge black eye on this one. I
am not sure how much damage control you can do on something like this.

I check the following
1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445.com via
whois. Available.
I then went to the NS retail site and checked if the domain was
available. It was. I was surprised to see the marketing of
"misspellings", but that not front-running, exactly.
I then check
1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445.com via
whois, only a few minutes had elapsed from the prior check.
