Why the heck did auDA have to do what they did anyway? If they're so
scared to be an actual domain name registry themselves what was the point
of stealing half of the .au namespace away from Kre? Sure, the processing
of .org.au, etc. applications is much faster now, but they were free
before, and now it seems that something isn't allowed to free otherwise
it's deemed to be illegal. grrrr

Craig.

PS. I had the retrieve a .org.au domain name password and transfer it
today too. My preferred registry has just obtained a little bit more
business from me.
