I had a call from Chesley Rafferty wanting to register 2000 .net.au
domains. I was going to do it but our registar bottle domains wouldn't
want a bar of it. So I  guess he went to Exploxer.

Best part would be if auDA gets their lic fee for the domain name, and 
then checks to see if they are a valid registration with the Business 
that are ment to own them and if they turn out to be invalid they get 
deleted.

They may end up giving up these silly schemes to make a quick buck if 
they are BROKE! We can only hope!
