Hi Alan (and Garth)

Well done - so far. My suggestion - that this be front and centre with any ALAC discussions with Compliance

The fictitious e-mail address is still reported (by domaintools.com) as being in use by over 1000 other domain names. It is not clear how many of them might also be unusable, but at least one that I checked (updflashplayer.com) is still in the DNS but does not seem to be live.
