News
this could be something quite innocent such as a mis-configured script.
Telecom DNS shows tx.co.nz is delegated to Clear so there isn't any evidence
of a DNS change or exploit or unethical or illegal or dishonst action.
did you ever consider asking yellow pages for a comment before posting to a
public forum? the orginal letter is signed by "Lester Smith" who you might
try this email address lester...@telecom.co.nz if seeking an informed
comment.

PS: Alan, why do you think that the phrase "so there isn't any evidence"
is a recurring theme in our corrospondance?
