So Mr. Pitcher stole justlinux.ca and has done nothing with it.
Clearly his intent was to simply irritate us.

If he really wanted the domain name and he had any class, he would
have reminded us that we needed to pay to keep it up, and he would
have asked if he could have it if we did not want it anymore.

But he didn't. He simply snuck in there and took a domain that we
owned for 7 or 8 years and he has done nothing with it.

A real class act.

cordially, as always,

Is RM still complaining about his own stupidity?

RM: Get over it. You abandoned justlinux.ca. I waited a suitable length of
time before making a bid for it, and CIRA let me lease it.

You /obviously/ didn't want it; you got email reminders that the lease was
about to expire, /and/ after your lease expired, you got a grace period of
one month in which you could renew your lease before anyone else could make
a bid. You neglected to renew, ignored the email reminder, and refused to
release the domain name during the grace period. *You abandoned your claim
to justlinux.ca*

Now, I have an interest in Linux. I have written several articles, and
intend to write more. I have long intended to separate my Linux writings
from my personal webpage. I was looking for a suitable name. JustLinux.ca
was just such a name. I bid for a lease on it, and CIRA, finding no
overriding counterbids, leased it to me. What I do with justlinux.ca is
now *my business*, not yours. Remember, *YOU ABANDONED YOUR CLAIM TO THE
DOMAIN*.

I have asked you politely to cease using the justlinux.ca domain name in
your email address, and (with some abusive grumbling on your part) you have
done so. I am even now dealing with your justlinux.ca clientele; you are
aware that you ran an open telnet service, aren't you? I don't run such
services, and have had to block your old clientele from my systems.

Further, you seem to have been a busy boy with email addresses. While my
email service will accept properly addressed justlinux.ca emails, it
rejects those which I have not authorized. I find that people are trying to
reach you at the following addresses:
adist_is_a_p...@justlinux.ca,
litium.udmvt.ru-1...@justlinux.ca,
delet...@justlinux.ca,
r...@justlinux.ca,
r...@justlinux.ca,
rea...@justlinux.ca,
rm.del...@justlinux.ca,
rm.rem...@justlinux.ca, and
r...@justlinux.ca
Please inform your correspondents that you no longer receive mail at these
(or any other) justlinux.ca email addresses. I will continue to reject
(550) emails to these or any other unauthorized justlinux.ca email
addresses.

So, RM, get over it.

Cordially,

You may even prefer to put some action to reaction, just replace
the 550 reject with a plain 'let the sender bear the cub', e.g.:
471 abandoned mail domain, please contact mailmaster at r...@realtomargarino.ca

True, AAMOF some loonies inside my domains deserved that treat (and of
course it accelerated the solving of that "mysterious mail routing problem"
they had) but to do it for an external concern is a bit harsh, at least.

I love that the first ''testimonial'' at the cira.ca front page is a
hockey tape vendor. :)

I tried finding this information, but could not find an explicit rule:
are you required to be a Canada resident in order to register a .ca
domain? The only thing I found is a blurb on their "why CA" page:

"Identify yourself as Canadian: Dot-ca is Canada's Internet identity,
reserved for Canadians, recognized and trusted worldwide."

That certainly implies that you must be Canadian, but if that's the only
statement about it it's possible there's some loophole (e.g., going
through a Canadian registrar that doesn't check residency/citizenship).
(Not that I'm looking to register a .ca domain, just curious.)

This incident should be a good reminder to those of us with domains to
make sure we're on top of them if we still want them. whois is a very
handy tool for verifying when domain registrations are about to expire.

According to http://cira.ca/faq-canadian-presence-requirements/

"What are Canadian Presence Requirements?"
"Canadian presence requirements are criteria that classify Registrants
according to legal type (e.g., as a company or an individual). The legal
type determines whether Registrants are eligible to register dot-ca
domain names and ensures that Registrants have a legal connection to
Canada. CIRA requires potential Registrants to establish Canadian
presence requirements before granting them a dot-ca domain."

"What is a legal type?"
"A legal type is a category that classifies a Registrant’s legal status
in Canada as defined in the document Canadian Presence Requirements for
Registrants. A dot-ca Registrant must conform to at least one legal type
to meet CIRA’s Canadian presence requirements. The legal type categories
are the following:

1. Canadian citizen
2. Permanent resident of Canada
3. Legal representative of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
4. Corporation (Canada or Canadian province or territory)
5. Trust established in Canada
6. Partnership registered in Canada
7. Canadian unincorporated association
8. Canadian trade union
9. Canadian political party
10. Canadian educational institution
11. Canadian library, archive or museum
12. Canadian hospital
13. Her Majesty the Queen
14. Indian band recognized by the Indian Act of Canada
15. Aboriginal Peoples (individuals and groups) indigenous to Canada
16. Government or government entity in Canada
17. Trade-mark registered in Canada (by a non-Canadian owner)
18. Official marks registered in Canada"

"Where can I find more information on CIRA's Canadian Presence
requirements?"

"For further information, please refer to the document Canadian Presence
Requirements for Registrants

I'm a Canadian citizen. I presume that RM is as well, or at least that
he falls into one of the first three catagories. CIRA has erected a
privacy boundary around WHOIS information; if the domain lessor falls
into one of the first three categories, WHOIS won't release the
personal information (name, address, phone #, etc) for the domain's
lessor, administration, or technical contact. You have to go through a
cira.ca webpage to contact the domain contact list.

A Canadair is a very useful and appreciated water bombardier plane
very useful for forest fires, and the Canada is much appreciated
in my country (.fr) and the mimicked expression from JFK was
just as plain clumsy as the one I suggested, after all I prefer to
be helped by a yellow orange plane than by a greasy sausage.

OMG!!!111

A "Berliner" is either a citizen of the town Berlin or a kind of
doughnut. The citizen may contain sausages. The doughnut doesn't.

I know - that's independent from the actual slackware version.

BTW, if it's in Wikipedia, it must be true:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_bin_ein_Berliner#Jelly_doughnut_urban_legend

As to whether a Berliner contains sausages, I thought it was pretty much
a given that all German cuisine contains sausage. Doesn't German
lettuce contain sausage? I think even the air over Germany contains
sausages. :)

No, we didn't receive any reminders. If we had, we probably would

You say that just to make you feel good.

The fact remains, you didn't point out to us that it expired. And
you didn't ask us if we minded if you took over a domain name that
had been registered to us for 7 years.

Bullshit. Although your implicit acknowledgement of your own lack
of creativity is obvious.

But you won't have any more luck drumming up a readership even if
you do use our domain name.

Hell, all we have to do is make a single post to this newsgroup and
we generate more response that your entire lifetime readership.

Yep, a real class act. We didn't abandon anything but more
important, you took no steps at all to ascertain that we abandoned
the site, or simply overlooked the renewal.

Since we were still using the name on our home server, it is clear
that we did not abandon the name. You took it in a lame attempt to
curry favour with the hoard that reads this newsgroup. After all,
they're the only ones who give a shit.

You took our domain name in an attempt to curry favour with the
likes of Dan C.

And that is absolutely pathetic.

We never ran an open anything. In fact, we haven't had a DNS
pointing to that name in years.

But we always had assholes knocking on the door, though. That's the
price of being a real presence on the internet. Once the small fry
figure out that the name is registered to you, they'll stop.

Don't worry. You're safe.

The fact remains, that you paid good money in a lame attempt to
annoy us, and all your "plans" notwithstanding, you will never do
anything with justlinux.ca. If you had planned to do something you
would have registered a name that you selected that was more
descriptive of what you planned to do.

You're outed. If you do use justlinux.ca for anything it will only
be to prove us wrong. And you'll have to prove us wrong to maintain
approval from the hoard. All that work to seek the approval of Dan
C, et al?

Oh, and you do know that you live within an hour's driving distance?

The only people who would be sending mail to that address would be
those too stupid to realize that we have had a dynamic IP for years.

You guys do know that you need DNS servers setup to actually use the
domain, right?

And you do know that realtomargarino.ca has not been setup with DNS
servers, right?

Maybe some of you will learn something out of this after all...

Why don't you just post all the email you get addressed to us at
r...@justlinux.ca?

Should be good for a laugh, no?

Sure, just post all the email you get. And show us the ip addresses
of those who tried to telnet to justlinux.ca.

You are either too full of shit ... or you are too stupid to
understand how the internet works...

Now, now. Don't suddenly get stupid on us.

Come right out and ask Mr. Pitcher to post all the email he receives
at that address.

We defy _anyone_ to show us one use of justlinux.ca that we have
made, outside of posting to this ng, in 5 years.

Anyone. Show us how much irritation you have caused us. Show us
even one thing that you have done that inconveniences us in any way.
Any way at all. Everybody would love to see it.

Justify the financial investment you made in justlinux.ca.

Show Dan C how clever you are.

Try using gmail, or hotmail. These services are commensurate with
your abilities.

The _only_ reason we are "complaining" now is because we are bored

And we succeeded. You could never do that on your own, could you?
That's because we have a fan base and none of the rest of you do.

BTW moron, the registrars have a cooling off hold period on expired
domains, so if it expired today, he couldnt register it for, IIRC, at
least 30 days, used to be (or still might be), 60 days.

Very true. It's not /my/ job to remind RM of his obligations.

Actually, it is/was his registrar's job (i.e. Tucows.com). CIRA sends a
reminder email to the registered holder at their registered email address
(I surmise that RM changed his email address without informing CIRA), and
sends a copy of the reminder to the registrar. The registrar /usually/
reminds the registrant via email.

CIRA's "hold" period is 30 days. RM's lease on justlinux.ca expired on
September 3, and I bid on it on October 11. As I said, I waited a suitable
time: 7 days past the last point that RM could have renewed his lease on
justlinux.ca.

Most likley the case, or he has a filter that trashed it as spam, either
way, it is not your problem, the domain was free for anyone, would he be
here bitching like a little girl if teh daomin was snapped up by say, Shaw
or perhaps Linus himself? I think we all know the answer to that one don't

If it's an issue, then the issue clearly lies with the registration
process. There shouldn't be such a short time between expiry and
when someone new can claim it.

But the problem also rests with people who can't keep track of such
an important thing as you describe. If it was important to you, you
should have been keeping track of when it was going to expire. I know
someone who lost their domain and it was pounced on immediately, but she
was pretty careless to not be paying attention. That is the sort of
carpetbagger we are now seeing, the clueless coming to the internet,
"knowing" all that they need to know, but then they can't even keep track
of their domain registration? She was running a business, and stupidly
named her business after the domain name, so when she lost it, there went
her business name. How stupid can you be to let that happen?

Wow. Just, wow. You run a mailserver for a medical facility but don't
make sure you still have the domain? Holy crap you deserve to get fired!

You run a site to get someone off of death row who is innocent and you
allow the domain to expire? Massive fail!

It is the administrators job to run the site, and ensure the domain is
paid for.

Thirty days isn't long enough? It should certainly be long enough for
someone who were actually using the domain for something important to
notice that the domain no longer functioned, even if they were so
incompetent as to have lost or misdirected the numerous reminders sent
out by the registrar as to the domain expiring.

Nothing was "hijacked". You've been told how it played out, numerous
times. You fucked up and didn't renew it. Your fault, and yours alone.

That's right. And, as we stated below, we would be legally liable.

Duh. Reading problems, still, huh?

But we wouldn't be _morally_ at fault. Mr. Pitcher would be
_morally_ at fault for any such hypothetical death.

Now we realize that doesn't mean much to you ...

Not the moral issue. Moral fault would definitely lie with the one
who took deliberate action in the face of potentially dire
circumstances. Certainly we would be legally at fault. And you can
argue that we are incompetent.

But the person who stole the domain name causing death is quite
arguably evil.

We have conceded that.

Nonsense. There is nothing "clueless" about making a simple
mistake. We have been renewing the domain for 7 years. Nothing
clueless at all.

If anyone is clueless, it is Pitcher for hijacking the name simply
to annoy us and potentially causes dire results. And if anyone else
is clueless it is boobs like you who can't see that what he did was
irresponsible and morally reprehensible.

If anyone had died, it would have been partially our fault for
making a mistake. But it would be partially his fault for acting in
an evil malicious manner.

What really happened, if you are truly interested, is that we were
registered using dran...@hotmail.com but since we got so much spam
at that address, we changed to dran...@gmale.com (or something
like that) and we forgot to look for the CIRA renewal notice.

The fact remains, Pitcher hijacked the domain we held for seven
years just to annoy us. He has zero interest in actually using it.
The classy thing for him to do is return it.

The fact that we are discussing it does not mean that we are
"agitated."

We think that it would have been just as gutless an act if he had
stolen your long-held domain simply because you forgot to renew it.

I should point out that RM's lease on the name expired at the beginning of
that 30 day period. At that point (September 3), the registrar marked
justlinux.ca as SUSPended, and the justlinux.ca DNS entry was expunged. As
of Sept 3, justlinux.ca ceased to exist as a DNS-resolvable domain name.

The 30 day period gives the previous lessor an opportunity to change his
mind about giving up the domain name. Only RM could have put in a bid for
justlinux.ca during that time. But, the domain would still have been
unresolvable until /someone/ bid for it (either RM during the 30 day
window, or /anyone/ after that window).

So, to conclude,
RM abandoned his claim to justlinux.ca by
failing to have his registrar "autorenew" his registration,
ignoring the re-registration notices issued by both CIRA and his registrar,
and failing to register justlinux.ca during the 30 day suspension period

Any moral impacts of RM's lack of attention reside solely with RM.

And, that's the last I'll respond to /this/ thread.

PS: RM, you stay plonked.

OK, so I lied, a little.

FWIW, CIRA announces weekly all domain names that have not been renewed by
the end of the suspension period. This weeks list of 3663 names can be
found at http://ro.cira.ca/tbrlist_p?datet=2009/11/11

Perhaps RM would be interested in one of these names. I could make a few
suggestions, but...

Yep, though I was only interested in the possible mail routing but
now's a change from last time I tried it (or its TTL was just outta tune
with the simple point where and when I did), the domain now has an MX setup:
-----------
$ dig realtomargarino.ca mx

You hijacked our domain name with the sole intention of annoying us
and you did so without checking as to whether there would be
consequences. You are not using the address now. You will never
use the address in the future. You are a petty, malicious and
boorish little man, revealed as such to all by the fact that you
wasted no time in alerting the Dan Cs of the world that you hijacked
the domain in a lame attempt to curry favour with them.

What kind of person would care what the Dan Cs of the world think?
Imagine if somebody died because of your attempt to curry favour
with Dan C?

> And, that's the last I'll respond to /this/ thread.

Nice try. Put your hands over your ears and hum. Maybe that'll
work.

We weren't using it anyway so we really don't care. But that does
not change the fact that you did was quite reprehensible. A
reasonable and responsible person would have reminded us that we
hadn't renewed, and, if he truly wanted the domain, he would have
asked if we minded if he could have had it.

Your attempt to curry favour with Dan C could have had serious
ramifications to innocent persons. Somebody could have died. You
could have cost somebody a ton of dough and all for a nod of
approval from trash much like yourself.

I don't know if it's long enough or not. Since I could point to a real
world example of someone losing their domain by a pouncer, I definitely
can see that it is important not to lose the domain name, when one is
actually using it.

But I also did say that one has to be pretty stupid to not keep track of
this sort of thing. My main point was that it sure wasn't Lew's place to
remind or warn someone before taking over the domain. If it's important,
the owner would be making sure contact information is up to date, and
would mark the calendar and do all kinds of things to remind themselves
to renew the domain name registration.

The registrar also gave us primary and secondary dns. That's nice,
but we didn't ask for them.

Nonetheless, the issue is whether justlinux.ca had dns. They
did not have them recently. And, it appears, they never will have

Pouncer is the right word. And we weren't actually using it.

Either that, or we really didn't care. From time to time we need a
domain name for experimental reasons and it doesn't really matter
what it is.

Well, it's a simple courtesy that should be observed among
acquaintances. But, since he is a "pouncer" as you stated above,
courtesy is quite irrelevant.

Absolutely right. And we admitted that.

On the other hand, we all make mistakes. Apparently Mr. Pitcher is
the type of person who would take advantage of that mistake for the
sole purpose of entertaining other posters. He has no use for
justlinux.ca, and he never will have a use for it, unless of course,
he is shamed into it by us.

His sole reason for pouncing on the domain was to entertain other
degenerates.

Well, it's obvious that you *do* care, by the amount of whining you're

We don't have a killfile. We have very seldom seen the need for
one. It's not difficult to skip authors we don't wish to read.

But the one who uses an imaginary killfile, as he demonstrated in
