Re: My URL being used?!

[Pro TechWriter <pro -dot- techwriter -at- gmail -dot- com>]

My registrar does NOT fill a page with anything. But then I don't use
GoDaddy, and not just for that reason. GoDaddy hosts porn sites and other
unsavory sites (IMHO).
I use WSMDomains, who is associated with Tucows. They call me when a domain
is about to expire and have free domain pointing, "coming soon" and "domain
for sale" pages where you just fill out a form, and they will lock the site
so no one can take it. I've used them since 1994 and they are absolutely
wonderful and trouble free. Nice people too.
