Carefull Addressing
Roy Goring
Hi All,
This is of interest to all Atari Users, because zetnet.co.uk is one of the
main Atari ISPs in the UK, so you all must make sure you address the emails
correctly.
I will also draw your attention to the contents of the last paragraph and
reinforce Tims statement about emailing

While I agree with Tim that users must make sure they print their
email address correctly and give out the correct email address, I tend
not to agree with him when it comes to 'stealing' domain names. I do
not think at all that the Danish company have stolen the name... it
isn't stolen until it has been taken off zetnet UK.. which it hasn't.
I do sympathise with Zetnet on this issue however, but it was really
up to ZetNet UK to do something about this in the first place..
forward planning.. and that is the job of the domain name manager
within their organisation.
That said, zetnet UK is a UK based company... will they want to
register zetnet.ie, zetnet.is, zetnet.de, zetnet.nl? All of which
require Zetnet to be resident in those particular countries? And if a
company in those countries starts up under the name of Zetnet, then
there is nothing Tim can do about that company registering
zetnet.country_code
>>I am not pleased that this has happened, This company are nothing to do

Yes, trading under that name in Denmark.. and? The point is, there is
no crime at all that they trade under that name in their own country..
they are not breaking any laws.. and as far as they are concerned,
they may have never heard of the ISP in the UK called Zetnet.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling...
