Howdy all,

Off the beaten path a bit - I wanted to finally address my pet peeve with
GammonEmpire in reference to GnuBG. I have been known to give out the GnuBg
url to people but I occasionally give it incorrectly as GnuBG.com . What
bugs me is that Gammonempire/Play65 etc are cybersquatting and attempting to
profit from our products name and line their own pockets. Now maybe we are
getting kickbacks or a percentage of their profits to further our
development?

Technically cybersquatting is illegal when it Is done so to generate
revenue. You can't tell me GammonEmpire/Play65 just so happened to choose
that domain for some other reason. Now before people say its an isolated
incident, I also noticed that they also own netgamon.com . Here they rely on
a common typo. How many more they have I don't know.

Does this irk anyone else besides me?

Michael Petch
