It seems that a posting on LBO-talk duplicated an opinion piece which was copywrited. Not a big deal in my opinion (the net runs on copyright violation), but the author was of a different opinion. Back in August or September, he sent annoying mail to Doug and in turn I got it, dealt with it, and it was over. Or so we thought.
Recently he also sent dhs.org, the organization that provides domain name service, to my machine, and asked that it be cancelled for "abuse". It was (DHS.org can't afford to be sued by every crank that comes along) and since Friday I've been trying to get in touch with someone at DHS who had the authority to reinstate my account.
I was successful today and I assume that DHS will be reinstating nuance.dhs.org tomorrow. In the meantime, try squawk.dhs.org if you have to use the archive. (Or cr947657-a.ym1.on.wave.home.com, but that's a bit awkward).
To avoid this in the future, keep principles of fair use in mind. Use URLs when possible. And keep away from ruffling the inflated egos of libertarian blowhards :).
Regards,
Marco
