Okay, here's an admittedly strange question: Is it always inherently wrong,
improper or maybe even illegal to register someone else's name as a domain
name, particularly if they are a prominent person?

What you are talking about used to be a common practice before the

what your problem with godaddy? if you can't figure out how to get them to

Oh, I don't know; probably just seemed more difficult to construct a website
(more so than the only other site I've created, which was on a network and
probably more user friendly in some ways). Also, don't see a way to blog or
to host the forums they mention. Thought these might be like
Not that I know of. It was $15 a year which is pretty standard.
