'Peculiar' is not the word I would use. It's called cybersquatting.
In a way, it is good news. The slimeballs of the world have noticed LyX
and are creeping out of their holes.
We should have registered the LyX trademark. Unfortunately that costs.
Here in Finland US$200. I believe that under new US legislation, you can
use your trademark against cybersquatters. Dunno about UK -- but I suppose
for .com domains US law applies.
